The Secret Cookie Club
ByPublisher Description
Friends make everything better—and so do cookies!—in this warm-hearted novel in the tradition of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, with a middle grade dash of sugar and spice.
The campers in Flowerpot Cabin have nothing in common. There’s Grace, the quiet one. Emma, the boss. Olivia, the drama queen. And Lucy, the artist.
But one stormy night they come together in the camp kitchen. Baking was their counselor Hannah’s idea to finally get the girls to get along. Now, as they bite into their warm sugar cookies that they’ve made together, they finally seem to be friends.
But summer doesn’t last forever. And if the bond is going to survive the long school year, these kids will need a plan, a plan that just might require cookies.
So, once camp ends, they stay in touch. First Lucy sends Grace chocolate chip cookies to help her cope with a mean girl at school. Then Grace sends Emma frosted sugar cookies to help her solve the mystery of missing family photos—and Olivia and Lucy get cookies of their own. While they’re at it, the girls just might decide to send their friend Vivek some cookies too.
“The quick pacing makes the pages fly by,” raved The Bulletin. Told in letters and emails and in alternating points of view, this sweet and funny friendship story will satisfy every reader’s craving for something comforting and delicious—just like a homemade sugar cookie.

“This is a sweet story of real girls building a real friendship... slowly at first but cemented by cookies. I appreciated that this story felt just right for my 4th grade daughter. It tackled real friendship issues, and issues real girls and their friends have at home with their families, too.
I heartily recommend this for fourth graders. I loved that it was able to reflect that stage of friendship my girl is at: slightly complicated but not without the extra complications middle schoolers are dealing with (or books seem to think they are) but my daughter isn't facing yet. These forks aren't perfect but thanks to that, the book is pretty close!”
