The Secret Cookie Club members Grace, Emma, Olivia, and Lucy are excited to be back at Moonlight Ranch summer camp with their beloved counselor, Hannah. But when a mysterious letter arrives, Hannah is plunged into despair. Secret Cookie Club to the rescue!
After puzzling out the contents of the letter, they make a plan to fix Hannah’s life—a plan that requires a magic spell, a daring mission to the boys camp, and a big batch of campfire cookies. What could possibly go wrong? With a dash of romance, a pinch of mystery, and a heaping tablespoon of fun, this camp adventure is as satisfying as a warm chocolate chip cookie.
Testo aggiuntivo
When Olivia, Grace, Lucy, and Emma return for a second summer at Moonlight Ranch in Arizona, they try to mend their camp counselor Hannah’s love life with cookies. . . . Freeman’s newest covers just the summer, opening with the campers’ arrival and closing on their last day. Told from alternating points of view—the girls in first person, and Hannah in third—this is a cheerful story of Arizona camp life and horseback riding, as well as the girls’ determined matchmaking efforts. The four 10- and 11-year-olds are as different as can be from one another in terms of personalities, strengths, families, and backgrounds (racial, ethnic, and economic), but the bond they’ve developed is strong. Freeman skillfully weaves in events from their first summer together so that readers can begin the series here, but her appealing middle-grade characters are so welldrawn that readers old and new will be eager for more. Recipes included. — Kathleen Isaacs
