Next Best Junior Chef #3: The Winner Is . . . written by Charise Mericle Harper and illustrated by Aurélie Blard-Quintard, reviewed by Debra Gantz

 

Summary:  Budding chefs everywhere will want this final book of the series, for sure! The two girls who have become friends during the competition are a bit concerned about the competition affecting their friendship. They are aware that to win the competition one of them has to lose. They do not suspect a surprise twist to start this 3rd Episode, but it offers them a chance to bond more in the competition. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: 
This is a story about cooking, for sure, but it is also about friendships, family, handling yourself under pressure, and public speaking. My students who love cooking shows requested this series and I am happy to be adding this third one in the series for them now.
