 Annotation:

This fantasy fiction is plot-driven and the author tries to grab the attention of 7-12 years old young readers. Oz and Lily's family used to own a famous chocolate shop. There was a terrible accident and all three of the great-uncles are dead, and with it their famous chocolates. Oz and Lily's family have inherited the shop, and with it, all of the family secrets. The children are thrown into a world of secrets, spells, and immortal animals (Demerara the cat and Spike the rat). From one unpredictable plot turn to another, Saunders’ lively characters will endear themselves to readers from start to finish. 

This book is reminiscent of Road Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and suitable to read loudly.
