Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel November 2023: Flavor of the Month features the book ALL FOUR STARS by Tara Dairman.

The New York Standard is in need of a new food critic. The perfect application is a bit unconventional, but the head editor is simply thrilled to find someone passionate about fine dining and discovering new ingredients.

Eleven-year-old Gladys Gatsby loves everything to do with food. So when she receives an out-of-the-blue opportunity to write a real restaurant critique, she’s beyond thrilled to take the job. Unfortunately, Gladys’s latest culinary creation was a total catastrophe, and she’s been banned in participating in any food-related activities. So it will take a bit of creative thinking and the help of her friends to get out of East Dumpsford and taste her way through New York City.
