R. Stanek: The Cracked Cookie Code, Gebunden

Klappentext

Who's crunching the alphabet cookies-and why do the crumbs spell H-A-P-P-Y?

Snack time at B. Havior School is suddenly suspicious. Half-eaten alphabet cookies. Weird bite marks. Frosting smears. And letters that seem to spell... a message?

Is it a hungry prankster? A cookie-loving ghost? Or something even sneakier? Enter the Bugville Sleuth Society!

Lass Ladybug launches a full investigation (clipboard included). Dag Dragonfly goes undercover with sunglasses and a fork. Buster Bee volunteers for "cookie tasting"-strictly for evidence, of course.

As the clues get sweeter-and stranger-the trio uncovers a surprise that proves not every mystery needs a villain. Sometimes, the truth is the kindest gift of all.

A hilarious and heartwarming chapter book full of bug-sized suspense, teamwork, and frosted clues. Perfect for ages 6-9, early readers, classrooms, and mystery-loving kids who enjoy:

Cozy, funny mysteries with emotional depth Characters who model empathy, friendship, and inclusion Satisfying twists with feel-good endings Laugh-out-loud lines, clever clues, and snack-sized chapters

A Note from R. Stanek: "In Bugville, laughter and kindness go hand in hand. This story is about paying attention-to clues, to feelings, to the quiet kids who don't always speak up. I hope the Sleuth Society makes your young reader smile, think, and believe that even small bugs can do big things." - R. Stanek
