And while not “perfect” in his choices, he still shines! Tris wrestles with his identity – “shark” or “krill?” He wrestles with the competition aspects. But there were other moments of REAL turmoil. He’d be this beacon of purity as his love of cooking overcame some of the pettiness and reality show stuff. Honestly, I expected Tris to be nervous but to shine. The show introduced a new cast of characters with the show runners and the other contestants. The reality show was almost a second story in the book once we established the business and town struggles. And I loved watching that dynamic unfold. He’s also all the more aware of the things his parents are trying to shield him from. He feels that pressure and responsibility. But it’s also richer than “just” those things. And it’s the struggle for food businesses in a dwindling community.

It’s the struggles of a food-based business. And the heart of the story was everything I love about middle grade fiction.Īt its core, this is a cooking book. There are lots of laugh-out-loud moments I just had to read aloud to my family. ReviewĮxcellent! I loved this even more than I did The Doughnut Fix! All of my favorite characters are back – Tris and Josh and Tris’ family. And a reality cooking show could be his solution. Now he just needs to find $50,000 to buy one. When Tris discovers a machine that could help him with his doughnut issues, he knows it could save the day for both The Doughnut Stop AND Petersville. How will The Doughnut Stop – or The Station House and Tris’ family – survive if the town can’t bring in more people? And Petersville is losing its post office. The school is so small I could be closed. More people are moving away than are moving in. While Tris is struggling to keep up with doughnut demand, the town of Petersville is struggling, too.

Tris is desperate to come up with a way to make more doughnuts faster so he can keep his customers happy. Folks who drive a long way and find the shop closed (The boys still have to go to school!) or the doughnuts sold out aren’t very happy. But not everyone is thrilled with The Doughnut Stop. And for a couple of 7th graders, they have an amazing business. Their doughnut shop is in an old train station where they share space with The Station House, Tris’ mom’s restaurant. Tristan and Josh achieved their goal of making the “life-changing” chocolate cream doughnuts ( The Doughnut Fix).
