New Book Is Magical Adventure Through Time with A Witch Who Has a Knack For Baking

Filled with humor and illustrations, it's a great fit for younger readers

DALLAS, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Martha May McKenzie, a kooky and eccentric grandmother who may seem like an ordinary coffee shop owner, but in reality, she is a witch with a twist. Her coffee shop, known as The Witches Brew, serves as a cover for her magical abilities, allowing her to help grandmothers dealing with their mischievous grandchildren. Martha is far from conventional, even in the world of witches, and her unique personality shines through.

In "Martha May McKenzie and The Magic Cake Big Mistake!" author Brian Starr invites kids to follow along as Martha tries to use magic to lift the spirits of her two grandchildren. But things don't go as planned and they end up in Medieval times, where they all must work together, and believe in magic, to get home. Starr has filled the book with his own illustrations which only add to the magic.

"I hope my book is able to show readers the benefits of being true to themselves" said Starr, "and that magic is real!"

Drawing inspiration from his own childhood and experiences, Starr works to capture the essence of family, magic, and the power of belief. Following the vision and example of one of his daughter's favorite authors, Roald Dahl, Starr has even filled the book with his own illustrations which only add to the story.

"Growing up, I had a BIG imagination! I enjoyed telling stories and drawing pictures, and I absolutely loved to make people laugh," said Starr. "Now as a father, I love to do the same for my daughter and any other children that read my book."
