Be sure to read the sequel, the doughnut king!!

I loved this book! It was funny and intriguing. I would definitely recommend it.

this book great! Iv'e read it so many times and i will still read it again. some other people wrote reviews for it saying that it didn't have any jewish stuff in it, which is sort of true but i think that the lesson and general vibe of the book is jewish. this book is a great read that has you feeling like you ARE tristan and you are right THERE, in petersville. you should definitley read this this book!

it's a really really good book and I really recommend it!! However, there isn't really that much Jewish... anything in it. There are some Jewish recipes (like challah and sufganiyot) and a couple Yiddish words, that's kinda it.

This Is such a great book! It had everything you would want in a book! It makes you laugh and feel what the character is feeling. I read this by myself and then a second time as a read-out-loud book with my brother and mom! They both loved it! (And my dad who laughed at the side line) I recommend you get this for your P.J Library selection. ALSO Read the book that comes after Doughnut King it is also really good!!
