Tangle of Knots is a book about different characters including Cady, a young orphan that has a talent for baking the perfect cake for any person. Another character is Miss.

Tangle Of Knots is about all of these orphans that have talents but The Owner tries to take them. Cady always tries to get to know the person that she is baking a cake for it is her method to find out the best cake for their personality. no one wants the owner to steel Cady's talent So in a baking when The Owner came to Steel Cady's talent with the ice they everyone tried to stop him. Cady has been in the Orphanage the longest people adopted her and then didn't want her anymore. Cady doesn't know why she tries to act her best when she get adopted but for some strange reason she cant until a man named Toby comes and adopts her for life.I like how all of the characters stick together and help everyone. I like how the book switched between every persons point of view so you get to know how every character felt except The Owner. I think they should do it from The Owner's point of view so we could know why The Owner wanted the talents I would give this book eight stars.  - RT
