Book #3 in the Cookie Chronicles series
A young boy named Ben Yokoyama tries to navigate his life and become perfect with the help of his new friend Darby, who has a secret identity as a superhero named Darbino.
Ben Yokoyama's fortune cookie declares 'practice makes perfect,' sparking his relentless quest for flawlessness. He demands better parents, hobbies, and even a superhero best friend. But as he sacrifices baseball, integrity, and his dog's affection, Ben faces a dilemma. Can life lessons from a goldfish and a near-death experience teach him that imperfection holds the key to true happiness? Discover if Ben can embrace his flaws and find joy in the perfectly imperfect.
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.
