Critics Review
“Younger readers will be amused by Gladys’s reviews of her parents’ horrible cooking and her plot to get to New York City without alerting any adults. The triumphant conclusion makes this a tasty read.” –Publishers Weekly

“A preteen restaurant critic is born. [An] entertaining story about the joy of following one’s bliss.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Gladys is a lovable character with plenty of spunk and desire, and readers will happily cheer her on, while the fresh plot adds a delicious dimension to the host of stories set in sixth grade.” –Booklist
