About Didi Dodo, Future Spy: Recipe For Disaster
Product Description In this series opener, Koko Dodo the cookie chef has a big problem. Today is the day of the royal cookie contest, and someone has stolen his top-secret fudge sauce! Luckily, a spy enters the scene just in time (or rather, crashes in on her roller skates): Didi Dodo! This might be Didi’s first case ever, but she has a daring plan to help Koko. Koko would prefer a safe, simple, sure-to-work plan, but without another option, he and the amateur sleuth take off on a wacky caper full of high-speed chases and big belly laughs that could only come from the mind of the inimitable Tom Angleberger. Each book in the series will focus on a food-related mystery. From School Library Journal Gr 2–4—Koko Dodo's Super-Secret Fudge Sauce has been stolen and he can't remember the secret ingredient to make more. With the Royal Cookie Contest right around the corner, he enlists the help of his friend Didi Dodo to solve the case. With a daring plan in mind, Didi and Koko follow the clues to a rhubarb farm, a food truck, and even a food court. With time running out, will Didi's plan to find the sauce succeed? Could the thief be one of Koko's competitors? Will he be able to figure out his secret recipe before it's too late? The characters are likable, engaging, and well developed. The food-related plot is mouth-watering, funny, and easy to follow. There's a good balance between illustrations and text, each complementing the other well. Full of surprise twists, this title will engage readers who will have a fun time guessing what will happen next.

A must-have for libraries where funny chapter books are in demand.—Kira Moody, Salt Lake County Library Services Review **STARRED REVIEW** "Full of surprise twists, this title will engage readers who will have a fun time guessing what will happen next . . . A must-have." ( School Library Journal) "[A] lighthearted start to a new chapter book series by Angleberger (the Origami Yoda series) . . . Lively illustrations by Chapman (Vegetables in Underwear) contribute to the exuberance of this Inspector Flytrap spin-off." ( Publishers Weekly) "Brief chapters, ample cartoon illustrations, and occasional other visuals such as recipe cards and comic strips will move along emergent and reluctant readers alike. . .This bite-sized book is for all the kids who love Inspector Flytrap." ( Kirkus Reviews) "Angleberger launches a new set of capers—food-themed and featuring reckless roller-skating “future spy” Didi Dodo . . . Chapman adds plenty of two-color line drawings."
