The Doughnut Fix REVISITED

By Izzy, of course!

Izzy is BAAAAACCCKKKK from a very short hiatus! This time she's got thoughts to share about The Doughnut Fix by Jessie Janowitz.

"Tristan Levin is a boy from New York City who just moved Petersville, the middle of nowhere, in upstate New York. When he sees his house for the first time he says 'Why do we have to move? We were perfectly happy in NYC.' The next morning he decides to check out the actual town. He bikes down there and most of the buildings are abandoned. Then he sees a sign that says, 'Yes we do have chocolate cream doughnuts.' So he walks in and says that he'll take a dozen. The lady behind the counter says, 'Eggs?' He replies, 'No, doughnuts!' Turns out that they don't even serve doughnuts anymore. So instead he gets eggs and bikes back home.

"Later in the book, Tristan's parents ask him and his sisters to think of a project  because they aren't starting school for a couple of months. He tries to think of a project but all he can think about are chocolate cream doughnuts. He asks the lady at the counter for the recipe and she said he had to prove that he was worthy of the 'life changing and heavenly' recipe.  Will he get the recipe?  Will his project have to do something with doughnuts? Read this chocolate creamed filled book to find out."

I was thrilled to revisit this sweet book again while Izzy dictated her review to me.  Here's a link to my earlier review before it even hit the shelves!  Now I have missed meeting Jessie once while she was only a doughnut hole's throw away from my town but I can't let that happen again.  We NEED to meet for doughnuts and coffee asap!


PS-Reason #17 of why I leap? So I can eat doughnuts!
