And his sisters who are about as polar opposite as can be and just as interesting as Tristan. His dad trying to figure out a new life without his work at the bank. His mom, the chef, constantly looking for the next best recipe. The supporting members of Tristan’s family were fleshed out characters with real heart. I think what I enjoyed most about this book is the characters. When you’re used to walking out of your apartment and getting just about anything you could possibly imagine by walking a few blocks or taking a subway, riding your bike six miles to “town” is definitely going to be an eye-opening experience! I couldn’t imagine the culture shock a kid would go through coming from NYC to a tiny, little town. I grew up in a small town (not as small as Petersville), but fairly small. Tristan sees this as an opportunity – bring the doughnuts back to Petersville and make this town worth staying in. Apparently the general store used to sell life-changing doughnuts, so good that people would wait in line for them. Tristan’s parents move him and his sisters to a small almost nothing town after living in New York City all of their lives. 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…” ( Taken from publisher’s website) Review: 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.
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. It’s like suddenly they’re supposed to be this other family, one that can survive without bagels and movie theaters. 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. 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. “ Superfudge meets The Lemonade War in this funny, heartwarming series debut about change, adventure, family, and of course, doughnuts.
