The Cookie Class is a story about the preparation of a spelling bee told by an exceptional young girl called Evelyn. Evelyn introduces the reader to a few of her friends throughout the story that she met by spending time in the Cookie Class with their teacher, Ms. Moon. At first glance, Evelyn and her friends in the Cookie Class seem like average students who have interests in soccer, snacking, and studying; but under the surface, they worry that what makes them different will lead to their social demise. Their differences include dyslexia, ADHD, and autism; however, to the naked eye, the characters in the story are typical children who have the same struggles as peers their age. The Cookie Class takes the audience on a journey of self-realization, empowerment, and acceptance of people with all exceptionalities through a young person trying to impress her school during a spelling bee!

In A Tale of Two Cookies, a cozy mystery from Eve Calder, it’s nothing but sugar and spice at The Cookie House, but elsewhere on Coral Cay everything isn’t so nice. Pastry chef Kate McGuire is loving life on the laid-back island of Coral Cay, Florida. As junior partner in a bakery renowned for luscious desserts—especially her cookies—life is pretty sweet. So when an old friend arrives and announces a spur-of-the-moment beach wedding, that’s just the icing on the wedding cake. But the groom vanishes right as a television crew descends on the town to film a hot, new realty show. Is there a connection? Is her friend Desiree somehow involved? Or did groom Judson simply get cold feet? The bride and groom were paired better than warm cookies and cold milk, so Kate doesn’t buy it. As the show’s cast runs amok on the island and the investigation into Judson’s disappearance heats up, Kate and her pal Maxi, along with town dog Oliver, will brave the rambunctious world of reality TV and a wedding weekend gone awry, in an all-out effort to find the missing groom.
