Family and food take center stage in this heartfelt middle

grade story perfect for fans of John David Anderson and Antony John.

For as long as he can remember, Curtis Pith has been obsessed

with becoming a chef like Lucas Taylor, host of Super Chef. And Curtis

has a secret: Taylor is actually his long-absent father.

So when Taylor announces a kids-only season of Super Chef,

Curtis finally sees his chance to meet his dad. But after Curtis wins a spot in

the competition and arrives in New York to film the show, nothing goes as

smoothly as he expected.

It’s all riding on the last challenge. If Curtis cooks his heart

out like he knows he can, he just might go home with the top prize—and the

truth.
