The Curse of the Gingerbread Cookies
Milo's Universe 4

Anything can happen when your best friend is from outer space.

Christmas is just around the corner, and this year everyone is getting the best
gifts ever. Albert and Rolv have become rich by selling heavenly gingerbread.
But what no one knows is that the two boys have stolen the space rabbit
Milo’s Peltzian pepper.

And when the grown-ups start behaving as if they are possessed by evil
spirits, a trail of gingerbread crumbs leads straight back to Albert and Rolv.
Little sister Ibbi and Milo take up the investigation and soon discover that the
boys are hiding more than one secret. How have they really managed to bake
so many gingerbread cookies? And why does a mysterious figure offer to buy
the secret recipe?

Milo’s Universe is an illustrated book series for younger readers, perfect for
children who want to read on their own. The Curse of the Gingerbread is the
fourth book in the series.
