Still, it’s odd that, soon after, a new apprentice appears at their family’s bakery. It gets even stranger when a black cat moves in and flour sacks start exploding. The weirdest part? Mila’s the only one who notices. Determined to solve the mystery, Mila sets off on a magical and hilarious quest to prove the apprentice is a witch and the cause of all this mayhem. But is she ready for what she’ll discover?
