“A scrumptious gem of a story!”—Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of The False Prince
 
Meet Gladys Gatsby: New York’s toughest restaurant critic. (Just don’t tell anyone that she’s in sixth grade.)
 
Gladys Gatsby has been cooking gourmet dishes since the age of seven, only her fast-food-loving parents have no idea! Now she’s eleven, and after a crème brûlée accident (just a small fire), Gladys is cut off from the kitchen (and her allowance). She’s devastated but soon finds just the right opportunity to pay her parents back when she’s mistakenly contacted to write a restaurant review for one of the largest newspapers in the world. But in order to meet her deadline and keep her dream job, Gladys must cook her way into the heart of her sixth-grade archenemy and sneak into New York City—all while keeping her identity a secret! Easy as pie, right?

Madison W. ★★★★★

Bought this for my 10-year-old who devours anything about food, and she finished it in two nights. The signed title page was a genuinely nice surprise since I didn't read the listing closely. Gladys being a secret restaurant critic is such a fun hook.

Ruby ★★★☆☆

The signed copy is a nice touch for the shelf, though the story itself felt a bit slow in the middle chapters. My 11-year-old liked Gladys and the restaurant critic angle, but it didn't hold her attention the way I hoped.
