Synopsis
Family and food take center stage in this heartfelt middle grade story perfect for fans of John David Anderson and Antony John.
For as long as he can remember, Curtis Pith has been obsessed with becoming a chef like Lucas Taylor, host of Super Chef. And Curtis has a secret: Taylor is actually his long-absent father.
So when Taylor announces a kids-only season of Super Chef, Curtis finally sees his chance to meet his dad. But after Curtis wins a spot in the competition and arrives in New York to film the show, nothing goes as smoothly as he expected.
It’s all riding on the last challenge. If Curtis cooks his heart out like he knows he can, he just might go home with the top prize—and the truth.

Reviews
Gr 4 Up—Curtis Pith wants to be a chef almost as badly as he wants to meet the man he believes to be his father: TV's Super Chef Lucas Taylor. When the Super Chef announces a contest he calls The Last Super Chef with children as the competitors, Curtis sneaks into his neighbor's well-equipped kitchen to film himself cooking. Curtis gets selected to be in the competition on live television, but he has mixed feelings about it. He wants to win the prize money to help his struggling family, but he also wants to be acknowledged by his father. The ups and downs of the competition take their toll and the pressure continues to grow. The relationships between Curtis and the other children fluctuate as each challenge tests their capabilities. Along the way, Curtis begins to realize that there is so much more to cooking and being a chef than he ever thought possible. Can he put everything he's learned together and win the contest? And what about the Super Chef? Is he a good guy or a villain? As Curtis wrestles with these questions he comes up with a plan that just might make all the difference, if he can pull it off with a little help from the other kids. Negron has written a compelling story with engaging characters who have unusual but intriguing experiences. The cooking details shine through, but not as clearly as the heart and soul of Curtis who longs for a father and wants to help his mother and sister more than anything else. VERDICT A great addition for libraries serving fans and cooking shoes, and those seeking stories about following your dreams, discovering who you are, and learning what really matters.—Heidi Grange, Summit Elem.
