What is A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking about?

Fourteen-year-old Mona has an unusual kind of magic: she can control bread, but nothing else. Her sourdough familiar and baking skills make life at her aunt’s bakery comfortable until she discovers a dead body on the floor. An assassin is hunting the city’s magic users, and Mona may be next. With the city’s powerful wizards disappearing and danger closing in, Mona must use her cleverness, courage and extraordinary baking magic to protect herself and save her home.
