Magda is just a girl but she is already a very talented chef. When she is chosen to compete in an intergalactic cooking tournament, she is excited and wants to do her best. Unfortunately, not everyone has good motives, and the stakes are bigger than she realizes! This is a very well told graphic novel with bright, detailed pictures. I look forward to reading the next in this series so I can learn more about this world. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

This one wasn't for me, personally. I found the illustration style on the edge of the uncanny valley, with occasional monstrous aspects that distracted rather than added to the story. Think zany, but in a way that is always moments away from becoming violent. I was not able to complete my reading of the book as a result

This is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for in a graphic novel! It's colorful, full of cool drawings, got a good story, solid worldbuilding, and also food. I love that it's about a space cooking competition. I need the next one!

This graphic novel has a cool premise but I don’t think the execution was incredible. The pacing of the story feels strange and there were parts of the story that seemed to be completely unnecessary to the storyline and didn’t add much to the character development. I’m sitting here after reading it trying to figure out what the overall message of the book or what the purpose was…. This was a miss for me.

Magda is an empathetic little girl who is feeling quite a bit of pressure while competing in an intergalactic cooking competition that could change the winner's life. But just when she comes to a decision on what to do with the competition, Magda learns much more about what is going on than she ever could've imagined. I really enjoyed Magda's character, especially in showing how caring and thoughtful a little girl can be. There are great ethics and morals shown through Magda's decisions and interactions with those in the competition. This read a lot like the set up to a story - I had several questions while reading through it; but with the ending, I can now see where the series is going and I believe the next book will be even better now having an established plot. Overall, it was an enjoyable read and I would try out more from this author.

Magda is a talented girl who competes in Intergalactical Cooking Competition. But this is not just a story about cooking competition. It talks about determination, hard work, friendship, family, even colonization and what it does to a planet. The setting is like the alternate universe to our world/planet. Very easy to read, and the artwork is unique. It's a good read to teach our children about compassion, love, friendship and to fight for what's right.

The Big Tournament is a big responsibility for Magda, luckily her cooking skills allow her to be more than up to the challenge, but maybe even an actual chance to win! For Magda the competition is about showcasing her talents and culinary skills when her back is against the walls. As Magda’s recipes call to become more complicated so does the competition. Magda’s story is very addicting and adventurous, leaving me with the need to find out what happens next!

Thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this one in exchange for an honest review!

This book is a graphic novel about a young chef who enters into a intergalactic cooking competition. She discovers a conspiracy and she has to stop it in order to save the world.

This was a cute graphic novel. I liked the story and the pictures were nice. I think a lot of kids will enjoy this one!
