Lulu Baker- a girl who wants everything in her life to be back to the way they were before Varaminta came along. And from there, along with help from her best friend, Frenchy, and a vibrant woman named Cassandra, she goes of to help the poeople that she loves. But after a while, she uses the recipe, The Truth Cookies, which makes whoever eats it tell the truth, to help her life.
At first, Lulu isn't convinced that the recipes in the pages work, partly because the recipes were not of the ordinary kind. It is called The Apple Star and it is a cookbook for solving real life problems. She suddenly finds a book which might have been addressed to Lulu herself. At the time, it was looked after by a small man called Mister O and Lulu is annoyed with him when he doesn't help her pick up the books from a large pile that she had accidently knocked down. When she gets off, due to the attention of her wet hair, she finds a book store, where the 'books find people', not the other way round.
She runs away from the salon and takes a bus. On her 13th birthday, Lulu gets invited to a beauty salon by Varaminta, where she is disgusted by the waxing and wires there. Later, there are other incidents that make Lulu want to get rid of Varaminta even more. She has suspicions of Varaminta using her Dad to get media attention and her thoughts are confirmed when she overhears Varaminta and her friend Waxia talking about using the wedding ceremony to promote her failing diet book, How to be as Thin as Me. Lulu Baker detests her Dad's new partner, Varaminta Le Bone, an ex-model, along with her son, Torquil, and her dog Poochie.
The Truth Cookie is the first of the Lulu Baker trilogy, written by Fiona Dunbar, who also wrote The Silk Sister Trilogy and Toonhead.
