In Cass and Max-Ernest's third adventure, the friends pursue the Tuning Fork, a mythical Aztec cooking instrument, to save Cass's mom from her kidnapper, evil dessert chef and chocolatier Señor Hugo. Mystery, adventure, humor, and fantasy meld in this story. A surprise "to-be-continued ending"--and lots of chocolate (some recipes appended)--make this a toothsome read. Playful illustrations open each chapter.
