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.
- A Heartfelt Story: A moving tale about a boy, his single mom, and his little sister, held together by a shared love of food and family.
- Foodie Fiction for Kids: Packed with detailed cooking scenes and mouth-watering descriptions of everything from crème brûlée cupcakes to the perfect soufflé.
- An Underdog’s Journey: Curtis arrives in New York ready to prove his talent, but quickly learns that competing on a national stage is much harder than cooking in his own kitchen.
- Finding a Father: The grand prize isn’t just money—it’s Curtis’s only chance to finally stand face-to-face with Lucas Taylor and uncover the truth he’s been searching for his whole life.
Chris Negron is the author of several novels for children, including Georgia Author of the Year finalist and Sakura Medal nominee Dan Unmasked. His latest novel, Underdog City, released in the fall of 2023, again from HarperCollins. He holds a computer science degree from Yale University, but it was his years of playing Dungeons & Dragons in friends' basements that inspired him to write stories about the things he loves, including comic books, baseball, competitive cooking shows, and dogs.
