Books with title The Secret Recipe

“Beauty has nothing to do with it,” said Brigitta. “Men carry on the family name and manage the family business. Personally, I think I could do it better than most boys I know. In fact, I think girls are better than boys in lots of ways. They’re cleverer, wiser and they don’t fight so much. If it wasn’t for men, Germany wouldn’t have had this stupid war and millions of people would still be alive. I think girls should run the world.”These are the words of a forgotten figure in a forgotten family, but Brigitta’s voice echoes down the years as five children fight to right a distant wrong and bring to light a long hidden secret.

The Terriertorials are a team of plucky terriers whose mission is to safeguard their precious supplies of food and treats from doggy raiders on the other side of the English Channel in the years after the Second World War. When Monty, the Terriertorials’ undercover agent in France, discovers that a team of dogs from the French Bulldog Elite Division is secretly heading across the Channel on a mission to steal the Terriertorials’ precious secret recipe for Choco Delight, he knows that he and the other Terriertorials must stop the bulldog raiders at all costs.

Emily could not believe what she was looking at. It was an extremely large grotesque crab-like creature, as tall as a human, with 10 legs. It kind of resembled the giant Japanese Spider Crab known as the “tall-legged crab” - a type of species that used to live in the waters off the coast of Japan. Maybe it had grown to its gigantic size due to chemical poisoning in the waters around Japan after the Third World War, she thought to herself. No matter what, its leg size was as wide as a man’s leg and it looked very strong. It must have evolved to partly look like a human because it had human-like webbed feet. It was swinging an axe in its massive claws as it chopped up driftwood. Emily remembered from her marine studies that this type of species was from the subphylum of Crustacea. In other words, it was a giant malformed crustacean crab.
