The Truth Cookie by Fiona Dunbar is about a young thirteen-year-old girl named Lulu Baker. Lulu lost her mother at age five and now, eight years later, her father has decided to re-marry. Lulu's Dad, Mike, is tricked into marrying the evil, self-absorbed, Varaminta Le Bones with her evil con artist son, Torquil.
Lulu's only hope to expose the Le Bones is with the help of The Apple Star, Lulu's magical New Age cookbook. To do that, she will need the help of her best friend Frenchy and the very mysterious Cassandra. Cassandra knows more about Lulu than Lulu may know about herself.
Why are the Le Bones so evil?
How was Lulu's dad tricked?
Will Lulu be able to save her dad from the dreaded Varaminta?
The only way to know is to read this awesome book and find out!
I found this book to be wonderfully written! It was full of interesting characters that all play a part in the outcome of this book. It also has a great twist of magic, mystery, and humor to it. I found it very enjoyable reading about a young strong hearted girl with a New Age cookbook. Overall, I found this book to be very well written and would recommend it for middle school students.
