Cute, silly, sweet read about a 6th-grade foodie who must hide her passion (and her cooking skills) from her fast-food parents while possibly accidentally becoming a food critic for a major newspaper.

Liked: The character of Gladys, her friends, and the food.

Didn't like: Gladys sucks up to and uses another classmate in order to get invited to the restaurant she needs to review. I kept waiting for some resolution or self-awareness about the troubling aspects of this or the potential for hurt feelings (even if the other girl was a snooty queen bee), but nothing happened.
