BEN YOKOYAMA AND THE COOKIE WAR
Cookie Chronicles #6
By Matthew Swanson and illustrated by Robbi Behr
In the latest installment in the highly-acclaimed Cookie Chronicles series, BEN YOKOYAMA AND THE COOKIE WAR (Knopf Books for Young Readers | On sale August 6, 2024 | Ages 8-12), 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.
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.
The Cookie Chronicles series 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 each installment, 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. The series is funny, heartfelt, and loaded with illustrations that will delight confident readers while drawing in reluctant ones, and stars a half-Japanese young boy whose mixed race family is drawn from the illustrator Robbi Behr's own experience growing up Asian American.
COOKIE WAR is a great way to engage 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)

Praise for the Cookie Chronicles:
"Our time on Earth is limited. Cookies are delicious. These are two of life’s most important truths, and this marvelous book contains both of them. If I could, I would eat it.”
—Lemony Snicket, New York Times bestselling author of A Series of Unfortunate Events
"This highly illustrated novel will have middle grade readers laughing out loud. The comic-style illustrations take a central place in this novel, as they not only tell part of the story, but also infuse humor into almost every page. Careful layouts keep the plot moving at a quick pace. Among the high jinks are some tender moments as well, including important lessons imparted by teachers, neighbors, and friends...
VERDICT This series will be a huge hit for readers of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Big Nate.” A great addition to all middle grade collections."
—School Library Journal, Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Perfection (CC #3)
"This fast-paced book is filled with hilarious happenings as Ben gets himself in—and out of—trouble... Joyfully silly illustrations add to the hilarity and action. Like the well-placed speech bubbles, the illustrations and text intersect to create a visually captivating story... Full of laughs and excitement."
—Kirkus, Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom (CC #1)
“Hugely heartfelt, very funny, and delightfully illustrated, Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom is sure to be deeply loved by young readers.”

—Lincoln Peirce, New York Times bestselling author of the Big Nate series
“WARNING: This book will make you crave noodles. And cake. And more Ben Yokoyama books, because they’re amazing!”
—Susan Tan, author of the Cilla Lee Jenkins series
