After adding a few Midwestern touches to the soup, Wilda enters it in a cooking contest and wins first prize! She's going to be featured on a television cooking show and she wants Sophie to appear with her. Then, when the cast and crew of the show arrive in town, the chef disappears. Now Sophie and Sam have to find him, and find a way to prevent Sophie's face from being broadcast on national television.

i might have been the only person in my library who read this during the early days of ya (i'm dating myself, but when i was in middle school there weren't that many ya books published), and it's sad that it's hard to find a print version of this series. maybe it was because the sisters are from queens and seemed like people i would know, or the fact that there was mystery in a small-town kind of vibe, i really enjoyed this four-book series.

This book by M.E Rabb was very good, unlike the other books in this series. I loved the mystery and the setting because it was set in a different place! Like the other books in this series it was a quick and fun page turner! Great suspension and fun to add a new character! My favorite part was when Gus walked into the diner..... but I won't say any more because I will spoil it! I definitely recommend this book. Great summer read!

Good Stuff again! This is such a clean and funny young adult series with NO murders! This installment finds the sisters with two cases and a trip to Las Vegas> ALso, there is a reunion and a new pet for the girls.

I read this whole series over one sick day in high school. I've been trying to find copies ever since. They're delightfully simple and entertaining. Just cute.

Another fine installment. The plots are always a little convoluted, but the characters get better with every book.

After reading this book, I still stand with my original view that it is not a very interesting book. Also, the vocabulary in this book is quite limited.
