Product Description

Tristan isn't thrilled when his family moves from New York City to the tiny, no-doughnut town of Petersville. But when he discovers a sign in a closed-down general store advertising “the world’s best chocolate cream doughnuts,” he sees a chance to start a business — and maybe turn things around. Armed with determination, a few unlikely friendships, and a growing sense of purpose, Tristan learns that sometimes the best recipes are the ones you create yourself.

Why We Chose It

We love The Doughnut Fix for its fresh, fun premise and entrepreneurial spirit. It’s a great pick for kids who enjoy food stories, family dynamics, and lighthearted humor. The plot is clean, the tone is uplifting, and the characters grow in believable, encouraging ways. A smart, sweet story with a dash of heart.
