Part of the Cody series
Cody must navigate life's tricky rules when prized possessions vanish mysteriously.
Cody's world is full of puzzling rules. Her brother Wyatt is fixated on his bike, and her friend Pearl wants to swap toys. When Wyatt's bike disappears, Cody faces a dilemma: who can she trust? As she grapples with her conscience, Cody learns that doing the right thing isn't always easy. Will she reclaim her beloved toy, or will she uncover a deeper truth about trust and friendship? Cody's journey through life's unpredictable rules will challenge her understanding of right and wrong.
Doing the right thing can be hard! When prized possessions start going missing, Cody gets a crash course in the most important rules of all — the rules of life. In Cody’s life, many things are hard to predict. Like why her older brother, Wyatt, is obsessed with his new bicycle called the Cobra, or why her best friend Pearl suddenly wants to trade favorite toys. Pearl says she will trust Cody with Arctic Fox because Cody is a trusty person. But Cody doesn’t want to give up her beloved Gremlin, and she regrets it as soon as she hands him over. When the Cobra goes missing, Cody has to decide for herself who is trusty and who is not. If only she had Gremlin to talk to! Surely Pearl wouldn’t mind if she secretly traded back . . . it’s not stealing if it belonged to you in the first place, right?
