Quand il était petit, Pierre ne voulait pas manger sa soupe. « Tu sais ce qui arrive aux petits garçons qui ne veulent pas manger leur soupe ? » lui disait son père, « Eh bien, à minuit, la sorcière Cornebidouille vient les voir dans leur chambre, et elle leur fait tellement peur que le lendemain, non seulement ils mangent leur soupe, mais ils avalent la soupière avec. »
Pierre s'en fichait. Il ne croyait pas aux sorcières. Mais il faut admettre que son père avait raison sur un point: une nuit, à minuit, dans la chambre de Pierre, la porte de l'armoire s'entrouvrit avec un grincement terrible et Cornebidouille fit son apparition. Allait-elle parvenir à faire peur à Pierre ? Ca, c'était beaucoup moins sûr.

Lena vive sola con su madre y, de vez en cuando, piensa que le gustaría tener un padre. Theo tiene una hermana adoptada en Colombia y un abuelo flaco y arrugado, que vive en el sótano de su casa y al que adora.

THE PAIN AND the Great One hardly agree on anything. But deep down, they know they can count on each other, especially at school, where it often takes two to figure things out. Like when that first baby tooth falls out on the school bus. Or when an unwanted visitor on Bring Your Pet to School Day needs to be caught. Or worst of all, when a scary bully says you're burnt toast. On days like these it can feel good not to go it alone. (And don't forget Fluzzy the cat, who knows a thing or two himself.)
In her third adventure, Cookie finds mysteries everywhere - but can she solve them, and save the science show?
Hurray, Cookie's Nani is coming to stay from Bangladesh! But she doesn't speak English and Cookie is the only one in the family who doesn't speak Bengali. Luckily, science-mad Cookie realises that her coding lessons at school might help her crack the language code and help her bond with Nani.
Other mysteries are harder to solve, though - like, why is Jake's mum acting so weird? Who is the mystery gamer who keeps levelling-up in Cookie's computer game? And who is the Woodburn Hacker, who keeps posting teachers' secrets on the school website? Why does it look like it might be Cookie herself?
Can Cookie solve these mysteries, clear her name and save the science show?
