Description
Can a little chef with a big heart save the galaxy with the communal spirit of cooking?
Twelve-year-old Magda was born on Azuki, a tiny moon with incredible plant life. Magda may be a bit of a mess, but she’s also a gifted chef—so gifted her unique and delicious dishes earn her a spot in the centuries-old Intergalactic Cooking Tournament! Kids from all over the galaxy hope to win honor for their home planet—as well as the Nector, a precious resource that can reshape entire worlds . . . or even save dying ones. But when Magda discovers an intergalactic conspiracy, only the kind-hearted chef can stop a secret society from stealing the Nector—and with it, control of the entire galaxy.
It’s the perfect mix of sci-fi, climate fiction, and fine dining—like if Greta Thunberg teamed up with Harry Potter for an out-of-this-world culinary adventure.
