Why read it?
1 author picked All Four Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In this series, the main character’s secret identity is that she’s an accomplished and influential restaurant critic and no one knows, not even her parents.
From Leila's list on The best books about kids doing things you thought only grown-ups could do.
