What does a chimpanzee, a spooky mansion and ‘Darkest Devil’ mushrooms have in common? E.A.T.S

11 year-old Lucas and Tucker are the best of friends. They live in Brocken House, a home for orphans. Lucas loves to cook and constantly creates mouth watering dishes for everyone at the home. Tucker likes to help him in the kitchen and sometimes he can even make toast without it burning – they are inseparable.

The boys’ favourite programme is ‘Dinners to Die For’, a fun-packed weekly cooking programme hosted by their favourite chef – Leonardo De’Largio. To their amazement, the latest episode brings much excitement. An announcement is made of a fantastic competition to cook alongside Leonardo at Mouthful Mansions!

Can Lucas and Tucker make it through to the final round or do they get more than they bargained for on their quest to become professional chefs? Is Mouthful Mansions all that it seems or are they in for the shock of their lives?

You may ask what E.A.T.S stand for… well you’ll have to read the book to find out!

Camilla Chester’s EATS, her second novel, doesn’t disappoint. You will be rooting for Lucas and Tucker as they begin their journey to make it in the culinary world. However, don’t be fooled, Camilla’s prose lures you in as the ever-darkening plot creeps onto the pages, sending warning bells out as you become engrossed in the boys’ plight. Are the boys brave enough to conquer their fears and escape what they thought was a golden ticket to a better life?

EATS is a whirlwind of a story but don’t read it on an empty stomach because the recipes sound delicious! Well, some of them do… you have been warned!
