The New York Standard remains unaware that its food critic, Gladys (All Four Stars; The Stars of Summer), is only twelve, a deception aided by flighty Aunt Lydia. Meanwhile, Gladys balances her culinary passions with finding her place in middle school and understanding her friends' changing relationships. Readers will cheer on the capable tween--and relate when real life proves more challenging than recipes.
