"This novel is a recipe for success." --Kirkus Reviews

A thirteen-year-old chef has a lot to prove as she tries to run a five-star restaurant, repay a greedy loan shark, and outsmart the Elven mafia in this entertaining novel that combines all the best ingredients--fantasy, humor, adventure, action, cute boys, and a feisty heroine!

Lailu Loganberry is an expert at hunting dangerous beasts. And she's even better at cooking them!

For years Lailu has trained to be the best chef in the city. Her specialty? Monster cuisine. When her mentor agrees to open a new restaurant with Lailu as the head chef, she's never been more excited. But her celebration is cut short when she discovers that her mentor borrowed money from Mr. Boss, a vicious loan shark. If they can't pay him back, Lailu will not only lose her restaurant--she'll have to cook for Mr. Boss for the rest of her life.

As Lailu scrambles to raise the money in time, she becomes trapped in a deadly conflict between the king's cold-blooded assassin, the terrifying elf mafia, and Mr. Boss' ruthless crew. Worst of all, her only hope in outsmarting Mr. Boss lies with the one person she hates--Greg, the most annoying boy in school and her rival in the restaurant business.

But like Lailu always says, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And she's determined to succeed, no matter the cost!

Heidi Lang

Heidi Lang moved to the west coast to pursue her love of judo, but eventually found a new passion: dogs. She started a dog walking company in Santa Cruz and has been happily patrolling the trails with her pack ever since.

If she's not hiking with her pack, she's probably writing or deep into a good book. But no matter where she is, she's almost certainly covered in dog fur.

She is the co-author of the forthcoming MG fantasies A DASH OF DRAGON (Aladdin, July 2017) and A HINT OF HYDRA (Aladdin, Summer 2018), and the author of an as-yet-untitled YA SF (Razorbill, Fall 2018).
