The Cookie Crumbles

Laila gave Lucy a cupcake on the second day of kindergarten, and they´ve been inseparable ever since. But the summer before eighth grade, they find out that since they live on opposite sides of town, they´ll go to different high schools. Yuck! Then Laila´s invited to compete at the Golden Cookie competition, which awards its winner admission and a full ride to the prestigious Sunderland boarding school, and it´s the perfect opportunity. Sunderland doesn´t just have an elite culinary program; it´s also home to an elite journalism track, if only newscaster-hopeful Lucy could build up a strong enough portfolio to impress the scholarship committee. But when one of the celebrity judges collapses after sampling Laila´s showpiece, rumors of foul play swirl, with Laila rising to the top of the suspect list. Even worse, a major storm has effectively cut off all access to the outside world. Can the girls find the real culprit and clear Laila´s name before it´s too late?
