The Heat Is On

(3) 4-6 Next Best Junior Chef series. Illustrated by Aurélie Blard-Quintard. After the initial four-person competition (covered in Lights, Camera, Cook!), remaining cooking contestants Oliver, Rae, and Caroline face various challenges and unfamiliar ingredients. They believably struggle to balance their competitive natures, the need to learn from one another, and their TV appearances. Who will be eliminated next? Occasional interview-style speech bubbles provide personal insights from the contestants; expressive black-and-white spot art offers additional context.
