Review
“A girl's unique cooking style saves the day in this fun Halloween read sure to entertain in any season.” School Library Journal
Review
“With a take-charge young protagonist, a tall-tale storyteller's cadence, and Ebbeler's eye-catching mixed-media illustrations, this book is a storytime — if not a culinary — treat.” Horn Book Magazine
Review
“The inky, blotchy Scares are pretty scary, and Curly Locks' food is stomach-turning, hilarious for lovers of gross humor. This fairy-tale-style story is a standout pleaser for the right crowd, with a year-round shelf life.” Kirkus Reviews
