If Mr Volio was forced to leave, there would be no more Chocolate Dippers. No more Strawberry Combers, no more Caramel Crunches. No more anything. And if Mr Volio left, well, there would be no more Mr Volio, and that would be the worst thing of all!* When Hazel Green s favourite baker, Mr Volio, is told that he has to leave his shop, it looks as if nothing can save him . until Hazel gets on the case! Even if it means matching wits with Mr Flite, the sinister lawyer, Hazel won t back down. But the law is the law. With the Yak, Marcus Bunn and the other Moodey kids, Hazel will have to be extra smart to save Mr Volio and the delicious pastries that he bakes.
