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 . . .
When Tris tries to save his doughnut business and town by competing on a cooking show, will he have what it takes, or lose it all?
Tris Levin thought moving from New York City to middle-of-nowhere Petersville meant life would definitely get worse . . . only it actually got better. But just when things are looking up, problems start rolling in.
His doughnut business has a major supply issue. And that's not the worst part, Petersville has its own supply problem-it doesn't have enough people. Folks keep moving away and if they can't get people to stay, Petersville may disappear.
Petersville needs to become a tourist destination, and his shop could be a big part of it, if Tris can keep up with demand. There's only one solution: The Belshaw Donut Robot. If Tris can win 'Can You Cut It,' the cutthroat competitive kids' cooking show, he can get the cash to buy the machine. But even with the whole town training and supporting him, Tris isn't sure he can live with what it takes to takes to win.
This sequel to The Doughnut Fix is about growing up, family, change, and as always, doughnuts.

Then one morning, Erec's mother is missing. The force inside Erec commands him to find her, leading him on an adventure that will change him forever. When he arrives in Alypium, a hidden world where old knowledge of magic is kept, Erec learns that his mother and the entire kingdom are in peril. And he might be the only one who can save them.
A dream. Dedication. Kindness.
Where would the world be without them?
Growing up, we are often told to dream big, dream loud. Go for our goals. Lead with our hearts.
But the tough reality is that we need to see others doing just that to help fuel our beliefs and really get what we want.
Just because the dream is in our hearts doesn’t mean that it’s going to be easy.
Sometimes, we need to see others just like us, growing up the way we did, who held tight to their dreams, pursued them relentlessly, and made a bigger impact on the world than we could possibly imagine.
These essays were collected with that purpose in mind. Seeing others achieve helps us believe in ourselves and chase our dreams.
Leigh M. Clark and Pen Ken collected essays from selected phenoms in entertainment, media, and more who made their dreams their reality so you can see how it’s done.
Learn about their background, their heart, their purpose, and their even bigger dreams beyond what they have already achieved and discover how you, too, can lead with kindness, love, and a heart to change the world for the better!
This book also comes with a dynamic original soundtrack, produced by Studio Kai. You can listen to it here (link coming soon).

In the process, they uncover an evil even more dangerous than Phoenix, one that has been waiting for centuries to emerge.
