Publisher's summary
Plum's thrilled about her arranged marriage. Becoming the daughter-in-law of a great chef will let her take her magical cooking skills to new heights. Then her little sister Dami dresses up as a boy and joins the army-a crime punishable by death. To keep her sister safe, Plum abandons her wedding, assumes Dami's identity, and reports for her sister's duties scrubbing dishes at the palace. Lying for Dami leaves Plum tangled up in intrigue and accused of poisoning the royal family. To clear her name, Plum has to figure out who's really behind the attacks. But delving into the identity of the true poisoner unearths darker plots. If Plum wants to save herself, her family, and her nation, she's going to have to cook the dish of a lifetime.

Great story
This was a great story. It had great characters and twists that you will not expect. Plum and her sister were very different. Plum was a great chef and healer to boot. Her sister wanted to join the army. Plum had her heart set on marrying a popular chef and a happy ever after. Her sister took that away from her when she left in the night and dressed as a boy and joined the army. Plum had to watch her hopes and dreams vanish because she would replace her sister who was due to start work at the castle. Plum did it because her parents could not afford the fine for lying. While at the castle she had an amazing time meeting people and trying to solve some problems that had appeared. Plum's will to save her parents kept her going and the more she learned about the strange events in her new life the more she strived to get to the truth. I enjoyed the story and will be checking into more on this author..

such a great book. sub-par narration.
This goes to show that there are many talented indie writers that get little to no recognition. This book is excellent. Well written, balanced, paced well and unique. I loved it.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS STORY
From the word go, this book captivated me. As soon as I had finished l searched the author for more books, I really want to continue reading/listening to more in this vein. I have the audio book and the narration was fun, expressive and really helped set the scene.
I recommended this CLEAN, young adult story for ages 10 to 90. For around 11 hours I wasn't on earth, I was in a small village, walking the long walk and suffering with this young girl as she put her dreams behind her. I admire her courage, fortitude and strength of morals.

Awesome
( Edit)
This is the best that I've heard in a long time! I wasn't really happy with the narrator but the story was awesome. I really liked the way the main character always got herself into trouble and then convinced her friends to help get her out.

Intrigue & Food
This was my first experience with M. K. Huchins' work and I enjoyed it very much. M. K. Hutchins has written a story where the younger sister, Dami, has been ordered to report to work at the palace. Dami's dream is to be a soldier, so after receiving the summons, she runs away. Plum, the older sister, knows that if Dami's is caught, her punishment will be death, therefore Plum decides to report to the palace as Dami. While working in the palace, Plum is accused of trying to poison the royal family. Plum delves into trying to determine who is behind the heinous deed and she stumbles into even deeper and darker plans regarding the kingdom. I was entertained by this story; however, the author does use a story device which I found charming, although others might find objectional only because the story moves into a more fantastical realm. Rachel Leblang's narration was great. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
