Sixth-grader Gladys Gatsby has a passion for cooking but is banned from the kitchen after setting the curtains on fire one fateful evening. Living with parents who enjoy the convenience of nightly fast food and microwaved meals is especially frustrating for Gladys and her refined palate.
With the help of a gourmet grocery store owner, her aunt, an inspirational teacher, new friends, and friends' parents, Gladys tries to pursue her passion despite restrictions at home.
When a mix-up at a famous newspaper results in Gladys being offered a job as a restaurant critic, will she have what it takes to succeed? Can an eleven-year-old fulfill her dreams by writing reviews for an editor and readers who assume she is an adult?
This delectable story is the perfect treat for anyone who is interested in cooking, dining, writing, or pursuing a passion despite setbacks! It's also a tale for children who have dreamed of sharing their talents in a major way!
