Six Thousand Doughnuts

Why would anyone need six thousand doughnuts?

Big family...little house... Fifth-grader Abe Mitchell is fed up with sharing. All he wants is something to call his own. And he just might get it when he finds a loophole in the fine print of a doughnut shop coupon. Abe thinks it entitles him to a fresh-baked mountain of crullers, dunkers, and chocolate-frosteds. But cashing in means war with Marlene Paczki, the daughter of the doughnut shop owner and Abe's new crush.

Editorial Reviews

"An energetic romp through a young boy's comedic quest and a warmly told tale of youth and family...The black-and-white line drawings by Meaghan Tosi, the author's daughter, are delightful, featuring images that employ the same humorous exaggeration and mock-serious tone that pervade the text."
