The Adventures of Forri the Baker

Hostage
Read a Chapter! 		Forri, the best baker in the village of Ettai, makes oddly shaped loaves--they look like keys, fish, roots, and roses--and his inspirations prompt the villagers to reject him. But Forri proves himself a crack military tactician when the underarmed town ends up invaded by barbarians. In later adventures, Forri outwits a food-crazed king, a pack of people made of bread, and even Death himself.
