Publisher Description

Told in multiple viewpoints, A Tangle of Knots is a magnificent puzzle. In a slightly magical world where everyone has a Talent, eleven-year-old Cady is an orphan with a phenomenal Talent for cake baking. But little does she know that fate has set her on a journey from the moment she was born.  And her destiny leads her to a mysterious address that houses a lost luggage emporium, an old recipe, a family of children searching for their own Talents, and a Talent Thief who will alter her life forever.  However, these encounters hold the key to Cady's past and how she became an orphan.  If she's lucky, fate may reunite her with her long-lost parent.  Lisa Graff adds a pinch of magic to a sharply crafted plot to create a novel that will have readers wondering about fate and the way we're all connected.

    " This book was the intersection of Pie (Sarah Weeks), Savvy (Ingrid Law), and The BFG (Roald Dahl). I kept feeling the influence of those three stories as I read this novel by Lisa Graff. If I could have made one change, it would have been to not make spitting a Talent. "

    " Loved the whimsy of this story, and craved big hunks of cake throughout my reading... but the sheer number of characters and the speed with which the chapters bounced from person to person made it hard to keep track of what was happening to whom. "
