Question: I need help with the name of a book!?
I remember this book my teacher read to the class back in elementary school approx!. 18 years ago!. It was about a girl who wanted everything to be chocolate, so everything she touched turned chocolate!. I remember a specific part where she tried to take a drink out of a drinking fountain, and it was chocolate!. I just have no clue about the title or author!. There is a book called "The chocolate Touch" that sounds similar, but it's about a boy and it was published in 2006, so that can't be it!. Sound familiar to anyone!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling
