Lulu finds an unusual book that contains magical recipes and she sees the potential for a truth cookie to open her father's eyes about Varaminta and her son. As her father and this nasty woman move closer to marriage, Lulu knows she must do something to stop it. Lulu Baker's dad is getting ready to marry his new girlfriend, world-famous model Varaminta le Bone. However, when Lulu's father is around, Varaminta turns into a sweet, caring future stepmother. In a sparkling debut reminiscent of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, comes Fiona Dunbar's story of Lulu Baker, an ordinary twelve-year-old who discovers a magical secret. As one might predict, Lulu hates the woman and the feeling is mutual. Varaminta's son provides mouthy torment and has his own scare: trying to trick the neighbor into believing a cat has been kidnapped. This woman, Varaminta le Bone, is a selfish gold-digger who suggests that a cabbage soup diet would help slim both Lulu and her father. Fiona Dunbar has had great success with the Lulu Baker/Jinx trilogy-Truth Cookie, Cupid Cakes and Chocolate Wishes. Lulu is a young teen with only memories of her mother (who died years earlier), living with her father who is dating a has-been supermodel. This first novel by Australian Fiona Dunbar begins the Lulu Baker trilogy.
