Miss Cinnamon

It is hard to find a sweet lover who would not be delighted by the pastry shop Miss Cinnamon. Although finding it is not easy at all! The little shop is hidden deep in a deserted street, near an abandoned... factory. Yet, it spreads wonderful aromas all around.
When twelve-year-old Marta stumbled in here, she immediately fell in love with these scents, with the neat but somehow empty display cases - even without knowing about the amazing pastries of Miss Cinnamon! The sweets are made here exclusively by individual order. Do you feel insecure? The dessert "I-can-handle-everything" is perfect for you! Had a fight with your parents? The sweet tart "I-will-find-the-right-words-to-make-up" is already ready! Can anyone wish evil on such a magical pastry shop? Alas, they can... Marta and Matteo, students of Miss Cinnamon, are looking for a way to save the pastry shop, but their idea leads to unexpected results.
Italian writer, journalist, and screenwriter Luigi Ballerini (born in 1963) is a great connoisseur of gastronomy: several encyclopedias dedicated to this art have been published under his editorship.
Ballerini's passion intersects in "Miss Cinnamon" with a love for children's literature - and successfully: the story was awarded the main Italian youth prize, Premio Andersen, in 2014.
In the writer's homeland, this urban fairy tale for 8-11 year olds quickly gained popularity: a bright, kind, and memorable story - a true modern classic.
For younger and middle school age.
