Six year old Clementine Rose lives with her family in Penberthy House. The holidays are coming and Clementine is looking forward to a trip to the city, but her plans are changed when the hosts of The Great Village Bake-Off, Florence and Nobby Loveberry, choose Penberthy House to stage their next show. The village is abuzz with the news and would-be contestants are flocking to the auditions. There will also be a junior bake-off so Clementine is keen to practise her baking skills. But mischief is afoot, and as the filming gets underway, Clementine becomes suspicious that a saboteur is at work. Can Clementine unravel the mystery? And why is Clementine’s mother behaving oddly? There are many surprises in store as secrets are revealed and winners are announced.
