“Tangine,” said Amelia gently. “I know you’re worried about your mom and dad, but don’t be a spoiled sprout.”

“It’s NOT fair.” Tangine stomped. “We made ALL these tasty cookies that I can’t even enjoy because I have stupid booger-poisoning, and now nobody knows who I am. I AM PRINCE TANGINE LA FLOOFLE THE FIRST!” he yelled.

Amelia suddenly felt like somebody had dropped a brick in her stomach. “Wait!” she said, running over to Tangine and placing both hands on his shoulders. “You’ve had no cookies!”

“Thanks for rubbing it in, Ameeeelia!” Tangine moaned.

“Well, I haven’t had any, either, because of my sore fang! Remember?”

“Yes, of course I remember! We have both been deprived of our cookie rights!” Tangine was failing to calm down.

“PRINCE TANGINE LA FLOOFLE THE FIRST! SIT YOUR ROYAL BOTTOM DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONE SECOND, WILL YOU?!” Amelia yelled as loudly as she could.

Stunned, Tangine slumped to the floor silently.

“You have GOT to calm down,” Amelia said, sitting down next to him. “Being angry and flustered isn’t going to make things any better. It just makes you get all sweaty and slightly stinky. As I was saying…neither of us has eaten the cookies. Everybody else HAS. Neither of us seems to be losing our minds and forgetting everything, whereas everybody else IS!” Amelia bit her lip. “Perhaps, just maybe, it has something to do with the cookies?”

“What do you mean? How can the cookies cause this mess?” asked Tangine.

“I don’t know—maybe there’s something in the cookies that’s making everyone a bit loopy,” Amelia suggested. “Do you still have the recipe book from Mr. Sublime’s cooking class?”

“It’s on the kitchen counter,” said Tangine. “Look, here.”

Amelia flicked through the pages until she found the Sublime Cookie recipe.

“Okay, so the basic ingredients are one hundred and fifty grams of Sunflower Root, two spatulas of Powdered Scorpion Grass, forty-five grams of Rainbow Syrup, fifty grams of Leprechaun Elbow-Grease and a dash of Honey-Bee Essence. Then it says to add ingredients of your choice to personalize.” Amelia studied the instructions.

“We added Raspberry and Fright Chocolate, Sweat Syrup Surprise and Belly-Button Fluff to our batches, which we know are fine because we’ve eaten all of those things before…so there must be something in the other ingredients that’s affecting everyone.”

“Maybe it’s Frankie’s cookies making everyone go weird,” said Tangine.

Amelia considered this. “It can’t be…. She added Armpit Sweat, Slug Slime and Beetle Brain to her cookies—nothing unusual there,” she said. “So it must be one of the basic ingredients in the recipe book.”

Tangine’s eyes lit up. “I know. We could go and look in Loose Limbs Library in the north wing of the palace! We have every book imaginable in there! We’re bound to find some answers,” he said hopefully.

“Great idea, Tangine!” said Amelia. “We’ll get to the bottom of all of this, I know it.”

“I kind of wish we’d at least been able to taste one of the cookies,” said Tangine sadly.

Amelia frowned. “Well, it’s lucky we didn’t. Those cookies are our main suspects right now.
