'One more sleep!
I’m so excited! Book Week’s here at last!

'Tonight is the night. The show of the year. The crowds hurry in, ready to cheer! Just one of these cats will win the chef's crown, and the keys to a sparkly new restaurant in town. But... with a splash of hijinks and a dash of drama, will any of these contestants make it to the end and be crowned Meowster Chef? Or will their big ideas go up in flames?

'A recipe for laughs is this story by Mozzies Vs Flies author Sarah Speedie. Each page is presented with perfection (any judge would agree) by illustrator Marina Verola. With millions of Master Chef fans working to emulate their favourite celebrity chefs, this parody serves up giggles for the whole family!'  (Publication summary)

'In a small dusty town, in the sweltering heat, two rival gangs had control of the streets. Fuzz and the Flies ruled the town in the light. While the Mozzies and Cozzie took over at night. When the School Barbeque is scheduled for 5.30pm — how do these two gangs decide who gets the rights to this delicious feast? Can they find a compromise or will it all end in an epic sky-high battle?'
