Fruit Gulch Gazette

Obstschlucht Gazette (German Edition)

Willkommen in Fruit Gulch, wo jedes Rezept eine Geschichte erzählt und jede Geschichte die Gemeinschaft zusammenbringt.

In der warmen, märchenhaften Stadt Fruit Gulch folgt das Leben dem Rhythmus gemütlicher Gespräche auf der Veranda, duftender Zitrushaine und dem wohltuenden Aroma frisch gebackener Kuchen. Die Fruit Gulch Gazette ist weit mehr als nur eine Zeitung – sie ist ein lebendiges Sammelalbum voller Erinnerungen, Rezepte, Geheimnisse und unvergesslicher Persönlichkeiten, die Fruit Gulch ihr Zuhause nennen.

Als der schelmische Batty Masterson in die Stadt weht und dabei eine Spur aus Glitzer, Gerüchten und Ärger hinterlässt, findet sich Sheriff Benny Kiwi plötzlich auf der Suche nach Hinweisen wieder – durch Obstgärten, Saloons und geheime Haine. Mit Unterstützung einer ungewöhnlichen Gruppe, darunter der Wetterpoet Sky Raye, kuchenbeschützende Einwohner und ein zurückkehrender Fruit Scout, der das Geheimnis eines legendären Rezepts kennt, muss die Gemeinschaft zusammenhalten, um die süßen Traditionen zu bewahren, die Fruit Gulch verbinden.

La Gaceta de Fruit Gulch (Spanish Edition)

Bienvenido a Fruit Gulch, donde cada receta tiene una historia y cada historia une al pueblo.
