When Tristan’s family moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere, Petersville, Tristan is pretty bummed. Their home in the city was great! Why did they have to move? Unlike his sister, he isn’t gifted and he isn’t super cute and always making adults laugh like his younger sister. He’s a baking genius who’s always inventing new recipes. But that doesn’t matter in Petersville. In Petersville, he’s just Tristan. There’s no pizza or baking here. But then Tristan finds an old general store who sells doughnuts. Tristan is beyond excitement. Finally, some deserts! Unfortunately, the store doesn’t sell doughnuts anymore even though they were world famous. But Tristan won’t take no for an answer. Some racoons, a new friend, and a whole lot of doughnuts help Tristan finally realize what he needs. Maybe living here won’t be so bad. Laugh, cry, and eat doughnuts while reading this book. Happy reading!
The Doughnut Fix
By Jessie Janowitz
Superfudge meets The Lemonade War in this funny, heartwarming series debut about change, adventure, family, and of course, doughnuts.
Tristan isn't Gifted or Talented like his sister Jeanine, and he's always been okay with that because he can make a perfect chocolate chip cookie and he lives in the greatest city in the world. But his life takes a turn for the worse when his parents decide to move to middle-of-nowhere Petersville―a town with one street and no restaurants. It's like suddenly they're supposed to be this other family, one that can survive without bagels and movie theaters.
His suspicions about his new town are confirmed when he's tricked into believing the local general store has life-changing chocolate cream doughnuts, when in fact the owner hasn't made them in years. And so begins the only thing that could make life in Petersville worth living: getting the recipe, making the doughnuts, and bringing them back to the town through his very own doughnut stand. But Tristan will soon discover that when starting a business, it helps to be both Gifted and Talented, and It's possible he's bitten off more than he can chew...
