This is a Little Golden Book Raggedy Ann adventure story. Raggedy Ann loved to do things for Raggedy Andy. Most of all she loved cooking and today everyone is helping her bake sugar cookies. They made cookies in all sorts of shapes: round, square, triangles and heart shaped. When done she placed them on the porch to cool. But when she came back to check on them later all of them were gone. She called on the hound dog to help find them. He looked and sniffed them out everywhere. Finally he confessed that he smelled them on the porch and ate them all up. Raggedy Ann was mad but she was proud that he told them the truth about the missing cookies. As a surprise she just went back to the kitchen and cooked up a new batch as well as a cake for Peterkins for telling the truth. Now everyone was happy.

At the age of 16, it's standard procedure for every girl at Lynnie Russo's posh Los Angeles prep school to get a car. So on her 16th birthday, Lynnie is startled when she opens the small gift box from her father—it doesn't contain the shiny new set of keys she was expecting. Instead she finds a worn-out bird charm bracelet. What can he be thinking? When she cuts school to go try surfing so as to have a special day, instead of grounding her, her father hands her a manuscript box and says, "Your mother wanted you to have this when it seemed you were losing perspective. I think now's the time."Through "The Noah Confessions," Lynnie uncovers her family's secrets, loves, and tragedies, and comes to recognize that their past may not necessarily determine her future.
