Thank you for inviting me.ĭAWN: Of course. JESSIE JANOWITZ: Thanks so much, I’m really happy to be here. The Doughnut Fix was a nominee for the Nebraska Golden Sower Award, Oklahoma Sequoia Award, South Carolina Children’s Book Award, and Pennsylvania Young Readers Choice Award. Jessie is the author of the middle grade books The Doughnut Fix and The Doughnut King, both are Junior Library Guild selections. Today I am so happy to be joined by Jessie Janowitz. Whether you’re the parent of a toddler or a teenager or anything in between, we’re glad to be on this journey with you. Every week I will be talking to an educator, a Blue School advisory board member, or a special guest about today’s ever changing landscape, and how we can help each other find our footing. I’m Dawn Williams, Blue School’s Director of Enrollment, and proud parent of a Blue School graduate.

Blue School is an independent school in New York City that has successfully pioneered a balanced educational experience, empowering children to be creative, analytical, joyful, and compassionate. We see you, and we’re here to partner with you. We know that even in ideal circumstances finding balance can be a challenge, and now so many of us are finding that our work, home, school, and parenting lives are more tangled than ever. Kids with the spirit of an entrepreneur will relate to the ups and downs Tris experiences in this book.DAWN: Welcome to On Balance, a podcast for parents created by Blue School educators. This sequel to The Doughnut Fix is about growing up, family, change, and as always, doughnuts. 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. If Tris can win 'Can You Cut It,' the cutthroat competitive kids' cooking show, he can get the cash to buy the machine. There's only one solution: The Belshaw Donut Robot. Petersville needs to become a tourist destination, and his shop could be a big part of it, if Tris can keep up with demand. Folks keep moving away and if they can't get people to stay, Petersville may disappear.

And that's not the worst part, Petersville has its own supply problem-it doesn't have enough people. His doughnut business has a major supply issue.

But just when things are looking up, problems start rolling in. Doesn't everyone love a good baking competition? If you or the kids in your life are into the hit show Nailed It! and if those kids have the entrepreneurial spirit, then this book is for you! When Tris tries to save his doughnut business and town by competing on a cooking show, will he have what a takes to win, or will he 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.
