The Donut Fix is a laugh-out-loud funny look at the accidental creation of a donut shop. It's not only filled with interesting characters, but the tips on how to start a business are priceless. This will appeal to readers of all ages.

This was adorable. I'll admit, I was kind of skeptical at first, but got hooked right away.
Tristan (Jax, lol) is a believable main character that many young readers will identify with. He feels ignored, left behind, and struggles with being jealous of his siblings, but ultimately just wants to succeed. I really enjoyed this, but wish that the recipes had been included on in the egalley I received. ;)
Tristan and his family live in New York and he LOVES it. The food, the people, the environment, everything. He's shattered when his parents announce that they bought a house in the country and are leaving the city. His mother, a chef, plans to open a restaurant, and his father, an accountant who no longer works in a bank, think that this opportunity will be AMAZING for Tristan and his sisters. The siblings? not so sure. Things get even worse for Tristan when he finds out that Petersville doesn't even have a bakery. He spies a sign in the general store window advertising "world famous doughnuts" and things just get worse when he finds out that the doughnuts are no longer being made.
When his parents find out they can't start school right away they decide that each kid needs a project to keep them busy. This is easy for Tristan's sister, a member of the Gifted & Talented crew, but not so easy for Tristan. Tristan decides to go with what he knows, and what he knows is baking- so he goes on a quest to bring back the doughnuts, learning about himself, friendship, entrepreneurship, and family.
