Fans of Amelia Bedelia and Dory Fantasmagory will laugh themselves silly at Venus Washington's misunderstanding about her grandma's secret recipe in this first book in a hilarious new chapter book series!

Venus Washington isn't sure why her parents named her that, since she was born on Earth and she's never been to Washington. One thing she does know: her favorite food is cotton candy. But after that, it's definitely lasagna. Yummy, gooey, cheesy lasagna.

Grandma makes the best lasagna. Venus wants to know her super delicious recipe--until Grandpa lets it slip that the secret ingredient may be toes. Yuck! With the help of BFF Summer, WEF (Worst Enemy Forever) Winter, and super-smart pet Hamsterburger, Venus sets out to save her family from the worst secret ingredient ever!
