Joan Bauer meets Ruth Reichl in this charming middle grade foodie series.
As the summer winds down and Gladys Gatsby prepares to start middle school, she is nervous about juggling schoolwork and looming deadlines from her secret job as the New York Standard’s youngest restaurant critic. When her editor pushes for a face-to-face meeting to discuss more opportunities with the paper, Gladys knows she must finally come clean to her parents. But her perfectly planned reveal is put on hold when her parents arrive home with a surprise: her Aunt Lydia, one of the only adults who knows her secret, fresh off the plane from Paris. Gladys and Aunt Lydia try one last ruse to fool her editor at the Standard, but even with her aunt’s help, Gladys just can’t manage the drama of middle school and a secret life. It’s time for Gladys to be true to herself and honest with her friends and family, regardless of what those around her think.

From School Library Journal:
Gr 4–6—Foodie Gladys Gatsby has more on her plate than she can handle in this third installment of her adventures. Picking up where Stars of Summer left off, this title sees Gladys entering middle school along with many students from other schools, some friendly, some definitely not. She feels guilty about keeping her job as a restaurant critic for a large newspaper secret from her parents (and evading her editor, who still doesn't know she is only 12 years old). Aunt Lydia has arrived from Paris after being fired from her restaurant job. Plus, Gladys's friend from camp, Hamilton Herbertson, the famous tween author, hasn't contacted her like he promised he would. Funds are tight for extracurricular activities at school, so the clubs are looking for ways to earn money. Naturally, Gladys suggests a bake sale. The first one is so popular she is overwhelmed with requests for more. She has spread herself too thin and is stressed. Desperate for help with her problems, she seeks out her favorite former teacher. Though Gladys is the only fully fleshed-out character, this is nonetheless an enjoyable entry in a fine series. VERDICT This book will appeal to a wider audience than others in the series, as it is less about evaluating restaurants and food and more about finding one's place and learning how to deal with problems. It can easily be enjoyed as a stand-alone read.—Nancy P. Reeder, Heathwood Hall Episcopal School, Columbia, SC
