Rosemary 3: The Prophecy of the Twilight Spider

By Miina Supinen & Anni Nykänen

The Cooking Club is racing back to the magical world of Humpia. This time, the monstrous Ant Queen must be defeated once and for all. The group encounter a Twilight Spider who writes a prophecy in his web: to defeat the ants, you need the best, most dangerous and smelliest treat in the world. It’s an extremely challenging task… and stinky!

The Rosemary series is a whimsical and colourful adventure for fans of illustrated storytelling, with a wacky plot, energetic dialogue, mysterious creatures and surprises at every turn.

Madeleine, Michelin, Slice and Bebe are the four members of the Cooking Club, who are taken on headless adventures with a kitchen witch Rosemary and her magical pepper mill. It does not matter where these characters come from, but their noses are always seeking out the next fantastical journey. With light and fun text and illustrations to carry the story forward, Rosemary encourages reluctant readers as much as comic fans to pick up the book.

“If your child likes excitement/humor, then definitely read these books. And yes, adults can read them too. I, for one, laughed out loud. 'No one can beat the Cooking Club!”
