A grumpy dragon squeezes his head through Mira Brimble's bakery door at dawn and asks to be taught to bake a cake — an apology to the girl he wronged three hundred years ago, who turns out to be Mira's great-great-great-grandmother. Between flour explosions, burnt honey, and a village that will not stop peering through the window, Mira has to decide how much she trusts him, what belongs in the cake, and who gets to watch him say sorry.

Before anyone reads it, the postmistress wants a frank, a witness, and a delivery; then Mira, Grumbold, and all of Hollowbeck have to decide who a three-hundred-year-old letter belongs to.
