Official synopsis Publisher
Being a vegetarian can be tough – especially in the school cafeteria with a steak-snarfing, burger-belching carnivore like Mike Cooper. Just ask Clementine Smith. And cooking meals for an intergalactic tyrant can also be tough – especially if he delivers a deadly ultimatum to prepare a meal he’s never had before or he’ll fry you up like a pancake. Just ask Chef Jeff from the Planet Zeff. The two worlds collide when Chef Jeff, in search of a new entre, lands on earth, sets up a burger joint in Clementine’s neighborhood, and devotes his culinary talents to fattening up Mike Cooper with the intention of making him the main course. Will Mike Cooper be served up with a side of greens? Will Chef Jeff end up as a frozen treat? Young readers will eat up this simmeringly funny story of suspense. Burger! has everything kids love – intergalactic intrigue, tensions in the lunchroom, gross ingredients, and more!
