From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3–The best cakes in town are made by Miss Cora Lee Merriweather, and when she dies, her ghost comes back to haunt the bake shop and harass any new owners until they leave. Years later, the establishment is bought by Annie Washington, the best baker ever to have worked on the Sea Star cruise ships. The ghost tries to scare this young woman into leaving as well, but to no avail. When Annie asks what she can do to be able to work in peace, Cora Lee asks for a cake so rich and so sweet, it will fill me up and bring tears to my eyes. A cake like one…no one ever made for me. Annie bakes one good cake after another but doesn't discover the right one until she does some research at the library. Finally, Annie produces a birthday cake, and her present to Cora Lee is to call the shop Washington & Merriweather. Annie is an African-American woman with pluck who uses intelligence and kindness to win over a grouchy ghost. Priceman's illustrations are charming, with dashes of color and humor and a sense of action in each one. The art surrounds the text on most pages, causing readers to feel immersed in the plot. With two such wonderfully strong female characters, this is a delightful story with a satisfying conclusion.–Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Gr. 1-3. Bakery proprietress Cora Lee Merriweather is a sour old spinster, and after death she haunts her shop to ensure that no one will fill her kitchen clogs. But she meets her match in Annie Washington, a pastry chef with cocoa-colored skin and a bold demeanor, to whom the badly behaving ghost proposes a challenge: "Make me a cake . . . like one I might have baked, but that no one ever made for me." In attempting to satisfy Cora Lee's discriminating sweet tooth, Annie finally concocts a successful recipe that blends compassion in with the standard batter. Caldecott Honor Book illustrator Priceman keeps things meringue-light, indicating Cora Lee's ghost with a few fierce strokes and filling the rest of each spread with lines and colors that swirl like ribbons of icing and suggest the expressive styles of Bemelmans and de Brunhoff. Read this irresistible tale alongside Patricia Polacco's Thunder Cake (1990) and Carmela and Steven D'Amico's Ella Takes the Cake (2005), and be sure to plan an activity that revolves around cake consumption (perhaps using the included recipe as inspiration). Mouths will water just as surely as hearts warm at the story's touching conclusion. Jennifer Mattson

Review
"Mouths will water just as surely as hearts warm at the story's touching conclusion." --Booklist, starred
"Chock-full of fluffy meringue pies and forlorn poltergeist, this culinary ghost story shows how, with a little determination, two cooks can learn to share a single kitchen." --Publishers Weekly

Subj: Bake Shop Ghost in Hollywood

Dear All:
I spent three full days on the set of The Bake Shop Ghost film, and it was marvelous. The film was shot on the lot at Universal Studios, and I stayed at the Sheraton Universal City. The window of my room looked down over the studios. One of the producers came and picked me up and we drove into the gates onto James Stewart Blvd, past the bungalow where Alfred Hitchcock had his office.
It was filmed in the section called "New England Village" in a small interior courtyard space. It was crowded with nearly 30 crew members and another dozen people - actors and visitors. It's an indie film, with a small budget, and will be only 15 minutes long, but it was the full Hollywood set - huge lights, cameras, trailer with wardrobe and make-up, a catering crew, trucks with electronic equipment, ladders, and tools, very " young production assistants with headsets, iPhones and water bottles.
I finally got to meet Lorette Bayle, the director who obtained the rights from my publisher. She was the eye of the storm, but was focused and calm. Mostly, I spent time trying to watch as much as possible and stay out of the way.
The level of attention to detail was astonishing - I thought writers were obsessive, but we are amateurs compared to film people. They are extroverted control freaks.
Cakes were important to the story, and there were lots of them. There were at least a dozen fake prop cakes. There were 11 cakes for the tasting scenes, with doubles - yes, the cakes had body doubles. Ed, a lovely man who baked the cakes for the tasting scene, had a great story about the birthday cake. He found a baker who would match the appearance of the birthday cake in the book. The bakery was called Helen's, and was run for 60 years by Helen. She left the business to her helper, who made the cake for the film. He was Filipino, with limited English. When Ed returned for the cake, the baker's wife said they liked the book, and thought it was very true, because she said, "He still talks to Helen." They felt her spirit was still in the shop. This was sweet, but a bit eerie.
There was a great deal of specialized equipment on the set - the one that struck me the most was the make-up belt, which had a pouch with pockets for brushes, pots of powder, mascara and foundation.
I realized that patience is an important quality in an actor, as they waited for sets to be arranged, lighting to be adjusted, and then repeated the same lines over and over. Maryann Jean Baptiste, who played Annie, was pelted with puff pastry at least six times during the fight sequence. They shot the flour fight just once, with three cameras, to minimize getting flour into expensive equipment. It was a grand fight, and everyone watching burst into applause at the end.
People were very kind, to me and to each other. If I was standing for more than a minute, a production assistant would bring me a director's chair. One of the producers kept feeding me. The mood was lovely- a group that seemed to enjoy working on the project and with each other. I'm very impressed with Lorette's leadership skills, that she gathered such a group, and kept them working together so well.
I spent a lot of time in the area they called "video village." This was where a video monitor that was connected with the camera was set up and the script supervisor, Ron, had a small table and chair. Ron was making elaborate notations on the script, noting each shot, each take, what reel of film was used, a string of numbers I never did understand. This was so the editor and director could identify each segment of film during the editing process. Some scenes had over twenty shots, from different angles, with several takes. It could take a couple of hours to shoot one page of script.
Ron seemed to like me, and kept urging me to write a screenplay. His point was that I had a film in production now, based on my work, so I had an edge over lots of other writers. He told me where the bookstore was with the best books about screenwriting, and tips about writing.
The actors were marvelous. They really embodied the characters that I had imagined in a wonderful way. For me, the most emotional moment was when they were improvising on a scene where the ghost is advising Annie about her recipes. I found myself tearing up, because it was how I had imagined these characters relating to each other, even though I didn't write it into the story. The ways that the film picked up and amplified things about the story that I had thought, but not written was amazing and a bit spooky.
As to the pictures - the one where I am with the bakers is not blurry due to a mistake. There was a fog machine going for that shot, not to make it spooky, but to soften the light. Lorette assured me that it doesn't show on the film. The set interior shows how crowded it got when the camera was rolling and the one with Kathy, the ghost, shows how much care went into the props and set design.
The next phase is editing and there should be a final cut in about six months. Then Lorette will submit it to film festivals and we'll see where it ends up showing. She said she would send it to Sundance, although she didn't think it was edgy enough for that festival. But she thought that if there was a full-length film with a similar theme or setting, that they would pick BSG to pair with it.
It was a marvelous adventure, and I feel so lucky to have had the experience.cheers,
Jackie
The film is now at Skywalker Ranch for sounnd and other editing

A Must Read for Children
By T. B. Guinan
A spooky tale about a deceased bake shop owner who haunts her beloved bake shop in order to scare away new bakers.
When a bake shop owner, Cora Lee Merriweather, dies, people do not grieve until they realize that "all those luscious desserts were now only sweet memories." Now new bakers want to take over the shop and one by one they are frightened away by Cora Lee's ghost. It is not until Annie Washington arrived at the shop that Cora Lee meets her match. Annie's determination is evident when she shows up at the bake shop night after night to triumph over the unwelcoming ghost. What is remarkable about this story is the way in which the author concludes the book. Given an ultimatum to bake the ghost a cake which will bring tears to her eyes, Annie outwits the menacing ghost in a most endearing way.
This story is not only going to engage kiddos, but can also be used to teach objectives in the classroom. As a 4th grade elementary teacher, I recommend this book to use for teaching the following: figurative language, characterization, plot and sequence, internal consistency, and theme (determination, fear, problem solving, unlikely friendships). Context clues is also an option with this book as there are some big vocabulary words (i.e. flummoxed, bland, sly). In writing, you could discuss word choice and make graphic organizers with words having to do with food or baking.

Wonderful Illustrations and Story
By Panchita C
This one is a true gem! The drawings are fluid and very distinctive, with the storyline about how a ghost mystery is solved. However, I think this would be okay for most children over the age of 4 or so, it's not a terribly scary ghost story. It's more a story of understanding where angry emotions might come from, and the importance of being strong, smart and kind, as the brave baker is when she both stands up to the ghost but also makes an effort to understand her by doing some research (after other bakers have fled the haunted bakery in fear). The fact that the baker is both black and female is not part to the storyline, but will be noted by those who appreciate strong, positive images of non-white or female characters in the books they read to their children.
This would be a great story for teachers, librarians, or parents to read aloud, and it even comes with a "ghost-pleasing" cake recipe. Highly recommended!
