A Tangle of Knots

A Tangle of Knots

by Lisa Graff

Rating:  4 of 5 stars – This book is better than most.

Summary: This book takes place in a world where everyone has a talent. Some talents are useful, like science, or knitting. Others are not. Cady is an orphan with a talent for baking the perfect cake for each person she meets. When she is finally matched with the perfect family, she meets a man who steals talents for a living. Will Cady be able to keep her talent safe?

Review: I enjoyed that this book was about different people with different talents, or no talent at all, and it was told from different points of view. I was surprised at how everything came together in the end - there was quite a bit of mystery throughout the book. I did feel like the end was a little lacking, but the recipes printed through out the book are really cool. I think anyone who likes a little mystery and possibly baking would really enjoy this book.
