Linda Chapman - Author
A baking-focused friendship story about Hannah’s chance to enter television competition, set alongside her mother’s plan to open a bakery. Its central tension is whether personal ambition can coexist with friendship and family life.
Eleven-year-old Hannah Hallett has loved baking all her life and is endlessly coming up with amazing new ideas. Her mum's just the same - and now she's moved the whole family to the countryside so she can pursue her dream of opening her own bakery! Hannah's favourite TV programme - JUNIOR BRILLIANT BAKER - is open for auditions! Hannah knows that she'd be the perfect contestant, and she can't wait to apply with best friend Mia. But what will the girls do when only one of them gets through to the show? Will the reality of TV stardom be too much to handle? And which is more important, baking or family?

Hannah applies to a junior baking programme with her best friend, but only one of them may be selected.
Hannah wants to audition while her mother pursues a bakery dream after moving the family to the countryside.
Pay attention to how Hannah and Mia handle the possibility that only one is chosen, and how the story weighs achievement against friendship and family commitments rather than treating success as automatically satisfying.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
