Review
We loved this book. It delievered everything we look for in a story suitable for our book-loving six year old. From the lively characters to the real-life themes and morals, Fortune Cookie held us captivated from cover to cover.
Jean Ure's writing style is easy to follow when being read to out loud or for the more confident reader capable of devouring chapter books on their own.
Fortune Cookie presents some very important messages about doing the right thing in a light-hearted humourous fashion, leaving the reader on a high note. This book is guaranteed to be enjoyed by children and equally appreciated by their parents.
