An Amazon Best Book of the Year A chapter-book series spin-off from Inspector Flytrap by bestselling author Tom Angleberger In this series opener, Koko Dodo the cookie chef has a big problem. Today is the day of the royal cookie contest, and someone has stolen his top-secret fudge sauce! Luckily, a spy enters the scene just in time (or rather, crashes in on her roller skates): Didi Dodo! This might be Didi's first case ever, but she has a daring plan to help Koko. Koko would prefer a safe, simple, sure-to-work plan, but without another option, he and the amateur sleuth take off on a wacky caper full of high-speed chases and big belly laughs that could only come from the mind of the inimitable Tom Angleberger. Each book in the series will focus on a food-related mystery. **STARRED REVIEW** "Full of surprise twists, this title will engage readers who will have a fun time guessing what will happen next . A must-have." -- School Library Journal "[A] lighthearted start to a new chapter book series by Angleberger (the Origami Yoda series) . Lively illustrations by Chapman (Vegetables in Underwear) contribute to the exuberance of this Inspector Flytrap spin-off.
" -- Publishers Weekly "Brief chapters, ample cartoon illustrations, and occasional other visuals such as recipe cards and comic strips will move along emergent and reluctant readers alike.This bite-sized book is for all the kids who love Inspector Flytrap." -- Kirkus Reviews "Angleberger launches a new set of capers--food-themed and featuring reckless roller-skating "future spy" Didi Dodo .
