The World's Greatest Chocolate-covered Pork Chops

Twelve-year-old chef Zoey Kate's Fried Banana Fondue is delectable, her Maple Cinnamon Crab Fajitas are divine, and her Chocolate-Covered Pork Chops are to die for. Zoey is the best cook in town and she wants everyone to know it. She's on a mission to start her own restaurant, but quickly learns that the restaurant industry is competitive . . . and dangerous. There are people who see Zoey as a threat, and they'll use any means necessary to make sure that she fails.

Featuring a precocious, larger-than-life character, lots of humor, fast-paced action and mouth-watering foods, this cooking story is sure to appeal to young foodies and fans of shows like MasterChef Junior and Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off.

Ryan K. Sager is a guy who wrote a book. This book. He wrote this bio, too. Used third-person for some reason.

After surviving a bus-hijacking in Venezuela, a precarious commute in Puerto Rico, and drinking tap water in Southern California, Ryan moved to Utah to be closer to his favorite hospitals. He's got a cute wife who loves to bake cupcakes, a cute daughter who loves to bake cookies, and expensive dental insurance.

The World's Greatest Chocolate-Covered Pork Chops is his debut novel.
