Synopsis

Practice makes perfect, and Ben Yokoyama will settle for nothing less than perfection! A hilarious new Cookie Chronicles adventure that fans of Wimpy Kid or Dog Man will gobble up with gusto.

When Ben's fortune cookie tells him that practice makes perfect, he refuses to settle for anything less. He demands better parents, superior hobbies, and a brand-new best friend, who might technically be a superhero.

The pursuit of perfection is thrilling until Ben is forced to give up the things he loves most--including baseball, personal integrity, and his dog's enthusiastic kisses. Life lessons from a goldfish and a spine-tingling near-death experience help Ben realize that his flaws are also the keys to his greatest strengths--and that the people and things that make him happiest will always be perfectly imperfect.

Another cute and funny installment in the Ben Yokoyama Cookie series. While I didn't enjoy The Cookie of Perfection as much as the first two, I still liked it overall.

First sentence: Ben Yokoyama had a pretty good life. Premise/plot: Ben Yokoyama is back for his third adventure. This time the fortune cookie's fortune brings out the worst in Ben. Yet somehow despite this--or perhaps because of this--his story remains relatable. His fortune is that practice makes per......more
