A laugh-out-loud adventure for kids
Sonya Anise’s MUMAGEDDON! And the Food Magician is a delightful new book for children aged 7 and up. This hilarious and heart-warming tale combines food, family, and forgiveness in a riotous rhyming adventure.
MUMAGEDDON! A young chocolatier’s sweet revenge
The story follows a talented young chocolatier with a passion for baking. However, his wicked stepmother bans him from the kitchen and sends him to boarding school. Determined to fight back, he creates the ultimate recipe for revenge.
While the book is full of silly antics, it delivers a meaningful message about compromise, acceptance, and unconditional love. Instead of good triumphing over evil, the protagonist and his stepmother learn to express their feelings and find common ground.
A treat for fans of Roald Dahl and David Walliams
Fans of Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake, David Walliams, and Jamie Smart will love MUMAGEDDON! With its irreverent humour and whimsical rhymes, it’s perfect for reading aloud. The vibrant, full-colour illustrations by the author bring the story to life on every page.
Sonya Anise’s background as a fine artist and designer shines through in her bold and imaginative illustrations. Her years of travel and love for cooking—especially chocolate—add a unique flavour to the book.
MUMAGEDDON! More than just laughs
While MUMAGEDDON! entertains, it also encourages children to see the world from others’ perspectives. Sonya Anise wanted to create a book that parents and children could enjoy together. She explains, “Humour is a brilliant way to get kids involved in a story. That story can also have a positive message.”
