Eleven-year-old Yasmina and her single dad lead a modest life in a cramped apartment in a bustling city. But even though money is tight, they eat like kings. Every day, Yasmina uses her cookbooks and fresh vegetables from the community garden to whip up gourmet meals. That is, until the day the garden is bulldozed and replaced by a field of scientifically enhanced potatoes that are, quite literally, addictive! The whole city-and even Yasmina' s dad-is going mad for these potatoes. And what' s more, they' re slobbering, chasing cats, and howling at the moon!What' s the secret ingredient in these potatoes that has everyone acting like a bunch of crazy canines? Yasmina needs to find a cure, and fast!
A delicious and nutritious concoction of fun, thrills, and consumer consciousness, this comic from the Belgian Mannaert cooks up heartfelt characters, an exciting sci-fi mystery, and a bunny gag worthy of old Bugs himself. --BooklistMannaert' s graphic novel is a silly romp of a corporate takedown heist, with charmingly drawn characters and well-paced action sequences. --KirkusYasmina' s creations look absolutely scrumptious and it' s clear that dad and daughter bond over her meals, making this ultimately a celebration of the art and heart of cooking; readers will just wish that Yasmina would share a. . . recipe or two. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children' s BooksWauter, whose art was so exemplary on the recent Weegee bio by Max de Radigues, is genius at focusing in on the physical humor of a single moment, elongating it into absurd proportions and making Yasmina' s world burst with energy regardless of the vantage point the reader is offered. --The Beat
