Goodreads Synopsis:
Superfudge meets The Lemonade War in this funny, heartwarming book 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 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…
Review:
When Tristan’s family moves out of New York City, his parents assign him and his sisters to make up a project until they go to school next term. Tristan decides to make a business selling the town’s famous chocolate cream doughnuts. He must follow steps to creating a business with the help of some new friends in town. This is a great story to teach kids how to follow their dreams and achieve their goals. Tristan had to go through a lot of trial and error to complete his project, including experimenting with the recipe for the doughnuts. One character who stole the show was Tristan’s younger sister Zoe. She provided some fun comic relief throughout the story!
The Doughnut Fix is a great middle grade book!
