a review

Today I am reading a fun little book that combined a few of my favourite things: Japan, a mystery, a chef competition, and deep fried hotdogs. Well maybe not that last one. Neil Flambé and the Tokyo Treasure is the fourth book in the Neil Flambé Capers series by the Canadian broadcaster Kevin Sylvester.

The hero is a fifteen year old culinary genius who has his own restaurant in Vancouver. I am enjoying this series, which seems like a good boy book that would also appeal to girls. The pen and ink illustrations are good fun. I recommend!
