Nosy Crow Kinderbücher*Café Chaos: The Way the Cookie Crumbles

Hope Crumble and her family serve up cakes, coffee and calamity in this hilarious new series from much-loved author Catherine Wilkins. Illustrated throughout by the brilliant Katie Abey.

The second heartwarming and hilarious story in the Café Chaos series.

Hope’s mum has mistakenly over-ordered the beans and they only have two months to get through them all! Several hilarious family meetings take place to discuss ideas: Aunt Rita comes over all ‚flavours of Mexico‘ while Connor wants a bean-eating competition to catch the post-gym crowd.

Hope is trying to distance herself from it all in a bid to have ‚time to be a child‘ and let her family sort out their own crises. But she can’t deprive her family of her problem-solving abilities for long. Rescue comes in the unlikely form of Skyla – Hope’s arch enemy and school bully – who needs a place to hold her charity fashion show.
