Does anybody remember this really weird children's book?
Posted by collectornerdjo@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I'm 22, and I read this book when I was in primary school. I can't remember for the life of me, so I was hoping someone here would remember.
Basically, there's this little girl and she has some sort of magic pastry and whenever she takes a bite of it, time pauses around her. I can't remember the characters name, and I think the cover was red with some sort of pastry on the front of it.
Absolutely nobody else I've asked knows what I'm on about, and I am determined to find out to prove them wrong

Sounds like a rip off of that TV show when I was younger, can't remember the bloody name of it now but it was a boy leading with a narrator doing all the talking... William rings a bell but this one it's a watch that does the time y wimey thing

Your one was easy to find, Bernard's Watch. I think the book came after it, so it could have taken inspiration from it

That's the bugga "Bernard's watch" like wtf was it all about, for one who calls their kid Bernard in the 90s (or was it another Bernard who gave the kid it)

Any chance it could be one of the phonics sets, like Biff, Chip and Kipper? Some of those series get a little weird.

Can't be that. It's too new as it came out 2018. Idk when this one was released, but it's well before that
