About the Book
"Curly Lock's cooking makes the Scares of Toadsuck Swamp go berserk. She has an inkling her unsavory cooking can help the situation."--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
Award-winning storyteller Donna L. Washington has cooked up a delightfully spooky tale in this imaginative twist on the classic "Goldilocks." Curly Locks is a good-hearted girl, but she's an awful cook. All the townspeople of Toadsuck Swamp know to steer clear of her peculiar dishes--like batwing brownies and toad eye toffees. So it's quite a mystery when one of her dishes goes missing from her windowsill. Next morning, chaos breaks out in town and word spreads how the Scares of Toadsuck Swamp are running wild and terrorizing the town at mealtime. They shriek "Gitchey Boo, Gitchey Bon! Gitchey Goo, Gitchey Gone!" and send folk running for their lives! But Curly Locks isn't frightened, and she has an inkling her unsavory cooking can help corral those Scares for good. Exercising tremendous narrative skill, internationally known storyteller Donna L. Washington breathes a spirited new life into an old classic. Her clever, can-do protagonist and joyful language pair brilliantly with Jeffrey Ebbeler's fantasy-like illustrations. This enchanting read is a treat for any time of the year!About the Author

Happy Grandma - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
I brought this book for my 7 year old granddaughter after having it read aloud on the YouTube channel Awnies House. We thoroughly enjoyed the reading and we thought it was the perfect book to add to my granddaughter's Halloween book collection. We received it a little before Halloween and we truly enjoyed reading it together. In looking at the setting, and the characters in the book my granddaughter and I really found it someway similar to Disney's The Princess and The Frog. it was like a spooky cute story if Princess Tiana had a daughter. We would definitely recommend. My granddaughter loves to read and has a huge collection of books that she has shared on her YouTube channel Cecilia's Castle.
