In honor of the fact that Gladys goes hunting for New York’s best hot dog, Tara asked if we’d share our favorite hot dog recipes. Penguin * Indiebound * Powells * Amazon * B&N But when it turns out her hot dog assignment was a dirty trick by a jealous reviewer, Gladys’s reviewing career may be over forever. The worst part is she can’t seem to get away from the annoying new “celebrity” camper and sneak away for her latest assignment-finding the best hot dog in New York City.
But her plans quickly go awry when her friend Charissa Bentley delivers Gladys’s birthday gift: a free summer at Camp Bentley.Īs Gladys feared, camp life is not easy: she struggles to pass her swim test and can’t keep the other campers happy while planning lunches. In this charming sequel to All Four Stars, eleven-year-old foodie Gladys Gatsby now has her first published review under her belt and is looking forward to a quiet summer of cooking and reviewing. So, yeah, much positivity toward these books! So, what else makes me so confident in this book? Well, duh, it’s a foodie book, and knowing that Tara writes with so much respect for kids and produces books that are fun and delightful and foodtastic without writing down to the reader was honestly my first big MG revelation. Left: At Tara’s launch party, with Lauren Magaziner, and me in my awesome shirt. Some proof of my macaron-centric love, and please excuse my horrible phonetography: I have to cop to the fact that I am supremely behind on my non-YA reading thanks to blogging responsibilities, but A) I adored book one in this series, All Four Stars, enough to be fully confident in its sequel, The Stars of Summer, which just came out yesterday and B) I adore Tara a whole lot too 😉 (Come to think of it, it seems I do blog tour stops strictly for macaron buddies. So, as I’ve mentioned before, I only take part in blog tours when I super, super adore both author and book.
