Meh. It wasn't a terrible kid series mystery. Not a lot of depth there but plenty of cookie selling fun Girl Scouts will relate to.
My biggest issue with this book was repeated use of the words "handicap" and "handicapped" to refer to an accessible ramp the girls want to build. Once I could forgive, but this was ongoing and referred to people who would use the ramp as well. This is really outdated and offensive language and I would expect a book this recently published to do better.

“The Cookie Thief Girl Scout Mystery” by Carole Marsh, is a wonderful mystery story that a group of girl’s scouts go through together. It was that time of the year, when all the girls are getting prepared for the cookie sale. Planning her sales, places to sell etc. They went to a cookie rally where each table had tips, safety, strategies, and more cookie-selling courses. The girls stopped by and received their ribbons.
That year a new bakery opened close to town and they were selected to bake and pack Girl Scout cookies. Not only that, they invited the whole troop to visit the plant. Everybody was so excited for the good news. Mimi is Ella and Avery’s grandmother, and she offered to take the girls to the factory.
I invite you to meet the girls, Avery, Ella, Kate, Annie, and Mimi along with others to this exciting adventure full of clues and figure out the great mystery around them.
"The Cookie Thief Girl Scout Mystery” by Carole Marsh is a very exciting story. The book is just great. It also has a part called Talk About It! It has questions to talk about with your friends. I liked it very much. Enjoy!
