The Doughnut Fix | Jessie Janowitz
5 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
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...

Middle school reader about a family who suddenly moves to a very rural area of upstate NY after the dad loses his job in NYC.The kids are funny, but definitely have some unloveable traits, much like most families. The parenting drove me crazy (maybe because I‘m a mom) as they aren‘t honest with the kids about the move and seem to ignore the issues the kids suffer from post-move. But it‘s a funny story with a secret donut recipe and business plan.

An imaginative story showcasing how strength, determination, and creativity allow a family moving from the big city to a small town to make it their home. Using a light touch of comedy, the author shines a soft light on each characters flaws while also emphasizing their strengths.

I realized after my previous post that the book cover for Butcher‘s Hook could possibly have influenced my choice of frosting color for the funfetti doughnuts the boys and I made yesterday!
