Illustrated by
David Small.
Marshall thinks the story about runaway gingerbread men is baloney, but he reconsiders when the gingerbread cookies that he and his classmates make escape from the oven. Aside from the nod to the classic story, there is nothing traditional here, from the hip teacher ("Kudos, Marsh...You rocked that dough") to the springy illustrations of the kids playing detective at school.
