But with her uncle’s knack for chaos and her own determination to uncover the truth, they might just make it through-if they can keep their heads (and clocks) in one piece.Full of humor, heart, and intrigue, Uncle Cookie’s Guide to Not Knowing Any Better is a delightful romp about family, mystery, and the adventure waiting in the unexpected. Perfect for readers who love clever banter, wild twists, and heroes who march to their own beat.
