SPECKLED EGGS, MOTORIZED BONANZA BIKES, AND A WITCH FAMILY: ALL THIS FOR A BLUEBERRY PIE — AND THE PASSWORD TO THE GAME CONSOLE

When Alice, Jody and Hazel want to test their new video game, they are dis­ap­poin­ted: ten fla­mes tell them that the TV is locked with a pass­word. And this despi­te the fact that they have cap­tu­red the con­so­le its­elf in what must be one of the coo­le­st thie­ving moves ever! The three are actual­ly one blueber­ry pie away from Hazel and Jodie’s mom han­ding over the pass­word — at least that’s the theo­ry. But as they hunt for the final ingre­di­ent, a speck­led egg, the kids encoun­ter seve­ral hurd­les that make their “Mission Pie” more adven­tur­ous than they initi­al­ly expec­ted. Can they mana­ge to sol­ve the fire puz­zle? (EB, LS)
