"Fast, fresh and very funny reading"
February 2021 Book of the Month
Cookie is one of those characters who have the best intentions, but just can’t help getting into scrapes and mix ups, and readers will love her all the more for it. In this new adventure, her plans for a plastic-free birthday party are overtaken by circumstances and before we know it, she’s accidentally become best friends with Suzie Ashby, got a detention, upset her friend Jake, and handed over £25 to take part in Woodburn Primary’s very own F Factor, which turns out to be not what she expected at all. Cookie being Cookie, it all works out in the end and everyone, the reader included, has lots of fun along the way. Konnie Huq clearly remembers what it is to be a ten year old very well indeed and Cookie’s fast flowing, tangent-embracing, stream of consciousness narrative is a delight. Huq’s own black and white illustrations are the perfect complement to the text, giving us even clearer insight into what’s going on in Cookie’s head. A fast, fresh and very funny read.
The LoveReading LitFest invited Konnie Huq to the festival to talk about Cookie, and green reads for kids with fellow author Gill Lewis.

I was surprised to read Cookie's gran comes from Bangladesh because my gran does too. This is the first time I've read about a Bangladeshi character. I loved looking at the illustrations, especially the speech bubbles, cute unicorns and all the animals. On the cover I admired the doodles and the little details. I can’t believe they were drawn by the author. This is perfect for fans of 'Diary of a wimpy kid' and 'Dork Diaries'.
Cookie and the Most Annoying Girl in the World was so funny. It's about a girl called Cookie who gets two tickets to see a singer who she doesn’t even like because she thinks the lyrics do not make sense. Cookie’s elder sister, Roubi reminded me of Delia from Tom Gates- a gloomy character eager to get rid of her younger sibling.
Cookie is a character who worries a lot like me. My favourite part is when they go camping, Alison goes to the toilet and she thinks she sees a ghost although it turns out to be Mrs Edmonds, who once joined the army. I would love to read the first book next!

Cookie is cooler than a caterpillar and caterpillars are pretty cool. Mrs Edmand's isn't as bad as I thought she would be either.
I loved the little cartoons on each page. They were really funny and helped tell the story.
I was able to read this book even though I haven't read the first.... Read Full Review
