'There Were Grown-Ups Who Should Have Stopped It': A Youth Theory Analysis of A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking (2020) by T. Kingfisher is an upper-middlegrade fantasy novel. It opens with a young wizard discovering a corpse in her family's bakery and ends with her leading her city's defense against an army of mercenaries. This article models the application of youth theory to examine aetonormative themes in A Wizard's Guide and concludes that adults' expectations of youth behavior interact with other social norms that are used to disempower and manipulate minority groups. The intersectional nature of youth creates segments of the population that are doubly disempowered, allowing adult power-holders to break the implied promise that they will act in the youths' best interests. Essentially, adults in the narrative can hold the child to cultural expectations of disempowered adults, while simultaneously using the child's age-based powerlessness to ensure their compliance to those expectations. A Wizard's Guide models a society in which intergenerational solidarity has failed, leading young characters to be disenchanted with and traumatized by older generations.
