Harper, Charise Mericle Next Best Junior Chef : Lights Camera Cook, 185 pgs. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017, $12.99. Language: G (0 swears, 0”f”); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
4 young contestants, Tate (9) Caroline (11) Oliver (12) and Rae (11) are vying to be the “Next Best Junior Chef”. Reading like a reality show, the contestants are taken through a series of instructions and challenges to see who has the most skill. Caroline comes from a restaurant family, Oliver is super confident (and the King of Calm), Tate is young and energetic, and Rae is precise and passionate. Facing the celebrity chefs, and dealing with a little bit of drama, “episode 1” is a lot of fun.

The drama is super mild (Rae faints and Oliver catches her) the competition is friendly - I’d have to say this is a sweet read. These kid-centered cooking shows are all the rage right now, so I can see that there is certainly interest for this title (and the sequel advertised on the back).
