Description

Perfect for fans of The Great British Baking Show and Clue, this enchanting and rollicking follow-up to The Cookie Crumbles follows two best friends caught up in a twisty mystery when jewels go missing at a high-stakes baking competition.

Baker extraordinaire Laila Thomas and budding journalist Lucy Flores are living it up at the top of the junior high food chain as eighth graders. But between busy schedules and kinda-boyfriends, these two best friends haven't gotten to hang out as much. So, when Jaden, an ex-competition rival, begs the duo to step back into the world of cooking competitions and crime--the answer is yes.

Jaden is desperate: His father is accused of stealing prized jewels on the set of an amateur kids' holiday baking show. The plan is for Laila to smash the competition while Lucy investigates behind the scenes--but their half-baked plan gets turned totally upside down when Lucy ends up in front of the cameras instead.

As the investigation and competition heat up, Lucy and Laila's bond is put to the ultimate test. Can they solve this bakeoff mystery, or will they--and their friendship--crack under pressure?
