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 cr¨me br»l©e 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.
Â
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?
