Dex Rossi is a gawky, lovesick middle-school entrepreneur and amateur chef who runs a gourmet lunch stand from his front lawn in hopes of earning enough money to buy a gym system that will help him bulk up and get the girl of his dreams. But while he serves up his locally famous food, his profits come to serve another purpose. He discovers that his family�s restaurant is in financial ruin, and to save it, he must cook up a quick plan!

With the help of Alicia, his filmmaking older sister, and a host of great friends, Dex kicks his business into high gear. As word of his talent spreads like peanut butter, an unlikely windfall comes his way. Dex lands his own TV cooking show on the famous EATZ network!

But just when he thinks he�s got his problems licked, Dex finds himself going head to head with a scheming, hard-boiled associate with a secret he has kept closely guarded.

Dex comes to learn that when your dreams are on the chopping block, finding the right ingredients is the best recipe for success.

"DEX is a tasty character blended into a good story that deserves to be heard from, understood and most of all read about."
--Jonathan Russo, ABC's The Chew

'Dex is a delicious read, a seven course meal, brimful of savory plot twists and turns. Fishbach has certainly served up a classic for all to enjoy."
--Gene Bolan, Former VP, MTV

"A wonderfully warm and funny novel about a kid who learns that cooking is as much about love as food... Fishbach is that rare thing, a genuinely funny writer, and DEX is thoroughly delicious."
--Beverly Swerling author of BRISTOL HOUSE.

"It�s said that first impressions are almost always true. My first impression of Sheri Fishbach was as a budding young writer in my creative writing class... I immediately knew then that she was truly a writer... After following her work and incredible dedication to her art, I am proud to say that my first impression was 100% correct."
--Don Linder, Scriptwriter, "The Last Executioner"

"What an incredibly fun, fresh, and engaging read! Dex is full of laughs, full of heart, full of memorable characters, and makes you feel full, with some of the best-sounding food you're likely to come across in any book. Not only do I think kids and their parents will want to re-read it, they'll be waiting impatiently until Dex's show hits TV!"
--Adam Neal, Associate Editor, Psychology Tomorrow Magazine

"Life is a journey... with Dex holding the flashlight!"
--Allen Clifford, Executive VP, MSC
