One rule. One cookie jar. One very bad idea.
Octavia is trying to be good.
She really is.
But when her best friend Vivian comes over for a Saturday playdate--and a jar full of warm, chocolatey cookies is sitting right downstairs--being good suddenly gets... complicated.
At first, it's just a peek.
Then a smell.
Then a cookie.
Okay... maybe a few cookies.
Before they know it, Octavia and Vivian are in the middle of a full-blown cookie heist--complete with sneaking, excuses, guilt spirals, and one extremely suspicious dog. As crumbs pile up and lies start to stack, Octavia must decide what matters more: getting away with it... or telling the truth.
Funny, heartfelt, and wonderfully relatable, Octavia and Vivian and the Covert Cookie Op is a story about friendship, honesty, and learning that mistakes don't define us--but how we fix them does.
Perfect for readers ages 7-12.
