A Tangle of Knots
By Lisa Graff
Get Tangled Up
Then, Toby adopts Cady Burgess because he went to Miss Mallory's Home For Lost Girls. Due to almost killing a girl with his truck. Miss Mallory still kindly invites him in, and asks him if he wants to adopt the girl he almost killed, or Cady. He says yes and the Ashers, Toby, Mason, and Cady all live together at the Lost Luggage Emporium. It's tight, and Mason isn't to happy.
In the end, Cady is at a baking competition in NYC, because she has an INCREDIBLE Talent for baking cakes. When she is there Mason tries to steal her Talent, but doesn't succeed. Luckily. We don't know if Cady won or not. But, everything ended happily because according to the text, Mason mysteriously disappears, Toby, Cady, and the Ashers take over The Lost Luggage Emporium, and Cady still bakes cake. That is my summary for A Tangle of Knots.

Dear Cady,
I got your letter! That's so sad you haven't found your perfect cake yet. If you keep on trying, you'll find it! OR, if you're REALLY stuck, you can go meet Loretta. She was a judge at the baking competition in New York. She has the same talent as you, finding the perfect cake for someone.
Best Regards,
Jack Wolfe

Stealing
Dear Lisa Graff,
In the story Mason steals people's Talents. I don't like stealing because if you get stolen from, you will most likely be depressed. And, you will be missing things. During the story, Mason tries to steal Cady's Talent, and when he doesn't succeed, she is relieved. But, if he DID steal her Talent, she would fall apart. That is why I think stealing is bad.
