Although Curtis has never met his father he believes, based on some things his mom said, that it is Super Chef Lucas Taylor. He believes he has inherited the chef genes and strives to become just like him. So, when Chef Taylor announces the Last Super Chef contest which will feature kids, Curtis knows he needs to do it - for the money, for the chance to prove himself, and for the chance to meet his father. But things aren't always as they seem and the pressure of competing and figuring out his relationship to Taylor take a toll on his ability to focus. Does Curtis have what it takes to be the Last Super Chef?
As an adult reader I figured things out pretty quickly but I am not sure a middle grade reader and though this book weighs in at over 400 pages it held my interest and had a good pace to it. For students interested in cooking, reality shows, or a solid middle grade book about understanding and misunderstanding this was a great read.
