Bookroo's summary

At a local Chinese restaurant, Benny Alden eagerly anticipates dessert, only to find a handwritten riddle inside his fortune cookie. As more riddles appear, the Aldens are drawn into a puzzling mystery. Who is behind these cryptic messages, and what do they mean? The siblings must unravel the clues hidden within the cookies to uncover the truth. With each riddle, the stakes rise, leading them on a curious adventure filled with unexpected twists. Can they solve the mystery before it's too late?
