Title:  The Search for Delicious
Author:  Natalie Babbitt
Reviewer:   Dinora F. '07

The Search for Delicious is a thrilling fantasy about Ardis the Mermaid, Mining dwarfs and Woldwellers who live in the very center tree of a forest and will answer all your questions. Well, that was what it used to be like before the people came, before war nearly broke out; this is how it started. DeCree, the Prime minister, is writing a dictionary. It all goes fine until he comes to the definition for delicious. The King says apples are delicious; the queen says Christmas pudding. The Prime minister doesn’t know what to do. So he sends his twelve year old boy, Gaylen, to take a poll of the whole kingdom’s vote for delicious. An unknown person is riding around telling people lies about the poll to try and break out a war.

What is delicious and who would try and make a war. Read The Search for Delicious to find out.
