The Truth Cookie



The Truth Cookie by Fiona Dunbar
Youth Fiction Lower Level - DUNBAR


Lulu (short for Louisa) Baker is not happy. Her father is going to marry Varaminta Le Bone, an awful woman that hates Lulu! Varaminta has a son Torquil that is horrible to Lulu. He steals Lulu’s Wodge of Stuff, which is a tin of photos and mementos from Lulu’s mom. Lulu is much attached to her Wodge of Stuff because her mom died tragically one day about 7 years ago and this is what Lulu has to remember her by. Every time Lulu tries to tell her dad about the awful stuff that Varaminta and Torquil do somehow she gets in trouble for it. On Lulu’s birthday she gets a recipe book from an unexpected person. This is no ordinary cookbook; this cookbook gives recipes for making things better. There is one recipe that Lulu wants to make, Truth Cookies. These cookies when eaten make the person the tell truth. Lulu is hoping that if she can make these then everything will go back to normal and Varaminta and Torquil will be out of her life forever! Find out if Lulu is successful in The Truth Cookie by Fiona Dunbar.
