Question: How do you take advantage of that natural resource when you are born on a moon with abundant plant life? If you are 12-year-old Magda, and your gift is cooking, anything your imagination and tastebuds can perceive. Because of her culinary gifts, and delicious dishes, Magda earns a spot in the centuries-old Intergalactic Cooking Tournament! An event that children with cooking skills across the galaxy aspire to enter and hopefully, WIN!
Besides honor for themselves and their home planet, the prize for winning is the rare and precious resource known as The Nector. A substance that can “reshape or perhaps even save dying worlds.” But, when Magda discovers an intergalactic conspiracy to steal the coveted Nector, she finds herself the only roadblock to stop them. This is the premise for writer Nicholas Wouters and artist Mathilde Van Gheluwe’s “Magda Intergalactic Chef: The Big Tournament,” Book 1.
