Story

In A Grimm Warning, Cindy rolls her eyes at almost everything Conner says or does. She and her three friends assault Conner outside the bathroom, and demand to know hat happened to his sister Alex. She attends the reading of the Brothers Grimm lost stories.

In Beyond The Kingdoms, Mindy, Cindy, Lindy and Wendy have all been made hall monitors. They have also dropped the book club to create The Conspiracy Club. Cindy and her friends catch Bree Campbell talking on her phone in the closet and blackmail her by saying that they won't tell anyone about her cell phone if she offers information about the Bailey Twins. Bree tricks them, and Mindy assures Cindy and the others that they will find out what happened to the Bailey twins, mostly to calm them down.

In An Author's Odyssey, Mindy, Cindy, Lindy, and Wendy are miserable. They are obsessed with the Bailey Twins; it's all they can think about. No one believes their conspiracy theories, and they are mocked and have a terrible reputation. In an attempt to break their obsession, they re-form the Book Huggers, but Mindy and the others cannot concentrate enough to read the books. They meet in theStorybook Grill, and then see Alex and Conner. Cindy and her friends go to Sycamore Drive to spy on the Bailey twins, and they bring along recording devices and cameras, ready to record everything and prove that they are right. When they see Auburn Sally and her crew appear out of nowhere, the Book Huggers drop their recording devices from shock and faint. Mindy and the others are then taken to St. Andrew's children's hospital. Cindy's parents are briefly mentioned in An Author's Odyssey. She dreams of writing presidential debates, or running for president.
