The book started off cracking me up. I love the bank application answers. Ha Ha! This would make a great cartoon. I could picture it in my head that way. Maybe a mix of Archie and Scooby Doo structure? I don't think some kids would get some of the jokes but who knows they are smarter these days. There are a lot of side remarks. The trolley restraunt is an awesome idea but the tragic end was full of excitement. Disclaimer and joke and recipes included.

Not only did this book make me laugh out loud, but it also ignited in me a craving for delicious food such as the culinary masterpieces created by a 12-year-old amazing chef, Zoey, the main character of this delightful book. Foodies will especially enjoy this rollicking middle grade adventure as Zoey opens her own restaurant, battles nefarious bad characters, and discovers the true meaning of friendship, all while cooking up delicious, unique dishes for the enjoyment of others. Recipes included!
