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.
Review
Six thousand doughnuts wow, just the thought of that many doughnuts makes my stomach feel queasy. Our main character Abe is sick of sharing everything with his siblings. I know how that feels. I have eight siblings, and you never get to keep anything for just yourself. When Abe comes across a coupon that will allow him to get six thousand doughnuts, all his selfish woes about sharing are gone. However, this is when the story gets interesting. When he goes to the doughnut shop to redeem his coupons, he encounters a brawl with his crush and the daughter of the doughnut shop owner.
Six thousand doughnuts is an adorable middle-grade story that many readers of this age group and even older children will sympathize with. Who would want to share all they have with their siblings all the time. Then you think all your dreams come true only to have to battle it out with your crush—this the perfect humorous book geared for those reluctant readers who think there nothing fun to read. I laughed out loud at all the antics that happen while Abe fights for his rights. I don’t know about you, but I have to fight for my rights with a coupon a time or two. At just over 300 pages, this is the perfect book for a lovely weekend read or to take your time over as a classroom reading it together. I also think you might want some doughnuts on hand cause I got hungry while reading.
