Bookroo's summary

Tristan's world flips when his family moves to sleepy Petersville, leaving city life behind. Lured by tales of legendary doughnuts, he embarks on a mission to revive the town's sweet legacy. But starting a doughnut stand isn't as easy as it seems, especially when you're not the 'Gifted' sibling. As Tristan navigates small-town quirks and entrepreneurial hurdles, he must discover if he has what it takes to succeed. Can he bring the doughnuts back and find his place in this new world, or has he bitten off more than he can chew?

An Amazon Best Book of the Month!

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…
