Who is leaving the mysterious cookie clues, and why? When the Aldens go to dinner at a local Chinese restaurant, Benny can't wait for his favorite part of the meal: dessert. He loves breaking open the fortune cookies and reading the messages inside. This time instead of a fortune, he finds a hand-written riddle! One cookie leads to another, and the Aldens soon realize they've bitten into another mystery. Who is leaving the Aldens the mysterious cookie clues, and why?
