Description

How do a baking contest and a mission from World War II combine? With a whisk . . . and some risk!

The wit and charm of "The Great British Bake-Off" meets the action and camaraderie of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"! This story about the unbreakable bonds of family will appeal to young readers who love history and adventure and who relish a mystery filled with twists and turns, fun puns, mouth-watering desserts, and friendship.

This third book in the Jake McGreevy series finds Jake and his best friend, Ben Meyers, as partners in a televised baking contest at the famed Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris during spring break. In their spare time, the two are determined to search for answers regarding a 1940 photograph that belonged to Jake’s late mother. Who is this family? Are they related to Jake? And what does the cryptic note that is written on the back mean? As they discover clues and make new friends along the way, Jake and Ben find themselves on the journey of a lifetime.

Hidden tunnels, stakeouts, drones, and clandestine ops will hook even reluctant readers in this Seine-sational adventure!

Advance Praise

“. . . [E]xquisite detail . . . Each scene is described so vividly readers will feel like they have stepped out of the pages and directly into Paris’s streets. Mouths will undoubtedly water from the depiction of the dishes created during the baking contest. And, the storyline keeps one guessing page after page.”
—JENNIFER HARTMAN, THE US REVIEW OF BOOKS

"Paris Secrets . . . combines a pun-filled culinary adventure in Paris, France, with a historical family mystery from World War II. This is a fast-paced tale of intrigue. . . . Readers . . . will be riveted by this impactful story about friendship and valor, past and present.”
—D. DONOVAN, SENIOR REVIEWER, MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

"The story’s tragic historical background is dramatic and includes tales of inspiring heroism while also shedding new light on Jake’s complicated family, a throughline in the series. “I thought I was just Irish, and now I might be French and Jewish, too,” he muses. Suspenseful action scenes take readers through the sights of Paris while the baking contest is lighthearted fun. . . . An entertaining adventure that blends several tantalizing ingredients."
