About this book

The Main Dish examines the relationship between sisters and the effects of fame, exploring what occurs when one person's success overshadows another's. Scarlet Williams is a sixteen-year-old violin prodigy approaching a major breakthrough in both her musical career and social life. She wins a chair in the Summerset Festival orchestra and publicly announces the achievement, including telling her crush, Finn O'Neal. However, her younger sister Sadie is cast in Young Gourmet, a nationally televised kids cooking competition. Scarlet must give up her orchestra position to accompany her family for the taping. As she transitions from the spotlight to the background, she must find ways to maintain the attention of her new friends.
