Publisher's Synopsis

Marta is finally old enough for her own slice of the special, sneaky dessert she loves so much-la Rosca de Reyes.

The colourful crown of sweet bread is so tempting, but Marta knows the truth-there's a baby hiding in the dessert: el Niño Dios. Marta can't help but wonder what will happen if she accidentally eats the little figurine of baby Jesus.

Suddenly, Marta will do whatever it takes to avoid picking the last slice of la rosca-no matter how badly she wants a bite!

This humorous story of one girl's journey to overcome her fears explores the traditions of Three Kings Day and the importance of family and faith.
