The Search for Delicious by Natalie Babbitt

3.0

This is a book that kids and adults alike will devour (pun only partly unintended.) When the Prime Minister presents the definitions in his new dictionary to the King, the entry for "delicious" threatens to tear the court apart as no one can agree that delicious is a fried fish. So the Prime Minister sends his young secretary Gaylen to poll the kingdom and discover the true definition for delicious. What enfolds is a classic adventure and coming of age story complete with a little fantasy and a lot of heart.
