The Cookie Chronicles series by Matthew Swanson, illustrated by Robbi Behr, has been hailed by Lemony Snicket (New York Times bestselling author of A Series of Unfortunate Events) as “marvelous… If I could, I would eat it.” In every Cookie Chronicles book, literal-minded Ben Yokoyama gets a new fortune cookie fortune, which he takes far too seriously— prompting humorous misunderstandings, ill-fated adventures, and a deeper understanding of language and life.

In the newest installment (6 of 7 planned), Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie War (ages 8-12, on sale August 6, 2024), two best friends are pushed to the breaking point when a class election gets out of hand. Rivalry and ridiculousness abound in this delicious, delightfully illustrated adventure for readers who love Wimpy Kid and Dog Man!
Cookie War is a great way for parents, teachers, and librarians to engage their kids with politics in an accessible way. Timely for the US presidential election this fall, the book promotes the idea that politics should be about
1) sharing your ideas for a better world and letting people decide if they like them
2) saying nice things about yourself instead of bad things about others
3) the idea that people should be able to have differing viewpoints but still respect each other (and get along)

About the newest book:
It’s the start of a new school year at Honeycutt Elementary and that means one thing: student council elections! Best friends, Ben and Janet are determined not to let mean girl Amy Lou Bonnerman win for the fourth year in a row, but when they both decide to run against her, they become rivals!
At first, it’s all funny posters, free candy, and pie-in-the-sky ideas for how to make the school a better place. But before long, the campaign turns sour—with mean rumors, dirty tricks, hurt feelings, and even sabotage! Ben and Janet’s legendary friendship is put to the test. To make things right, they must expose a conspiracy, swallow hard truths, and remember what’s most important—their friendship.
