Comments: Layne Green is a seventeen-year-old cook. Jang-Mi Pipper and Fron the dog are friends of his from childhood. As children, they had fun and some wild adventures as they both discovered they loved cooking. Layne is now grown up somewhat at sixteen years old.
Layne now has an internet cooking show. This leads to him being on The Voyage De Gourmet Challenge.
Layne messed up with Jang-Mi three years ago. What he did is unforgivable. They have not talked in three years. Now they are teamed up on The Voyage De Gourmet Challenge.
The book gives you an introduction to all the teams in the challenge. All the teams are made up of so many different characters.
Layne needs to think before he speaks.
The art is fun-filled and beautiful and illustrates each character and their personalities.
The competition is hard and fast as these cooks go all out to advance. Some go too far and cause problems. Yes, there is drama. The tension as well between Layne and Jang-Mi is still going strong. It has lessened a little yet they are still nowhere near where they once were. Layne does a good deed just for the sake of doing it, yes he is a good person.
The competition is very competitive and now down to three teams of two. Layne and Jang-Mi and doing much better as they get along better they do better in the competition. It is wonderful to watch them grow closer. Yet Jayne needs to do something to fix the rift between them truly.
The competition comes down to two teams Jayne and Jang-Mi vs Flip and Flop. Yes, real live tiger sharks are involved. Layne makes a choice and it is the right one. This scene has been building and it delivers an emotional moment. This story gets into how important friendship is.
This is a fun-filled look at growing up and maturing, of making mistakes and admitting them. Layne and Jang-Mi both grow as people from getting back together. This story is filled with emotions and you will feel them too.
