Dough or Die

This is the first of this series I have read. It made me think I needed to go to the kitchen and start baking bread. So the setting and job was so good.
The characters were all new to me. Olaya and Mrs. Branford are awesome. Miguel, Ivy, and the other girls in the class were good. I liked the inclusion of Crosby House and the gardening information. Mack was complex and I liked that. Sandra and Ben were more than you expected them to be. The characters were unique and memorable.
The mystery was so twisty! I was wrong at nearly every turn and I like that. It turned out that there were more bad guys than I expected. And I missed some of the clues as well. The mystery was really great.
This book felt like it was about more than just the mystery.

I received a copy of the book and this is my review.
