Thirdly, new schoolmates at Wellsworth include Jack's new roommate Sam, for whom Emmy is feeling a little fluttery, and Jack's little brother Oliver who is having a hard time fitting in.Īfter the funds from the Wellsworth Annual Charity Supper and fundraiser are discovered in Lola's dresser and she is expelled, Emmy learns that the Order has set up Lola and will continue to do harm unless Emmy tells them where her father is. Secondly, she hides the all-important Order's medallions–though the Order has been told they were all destroyed–in a safety deposit box at the Royal Bank of London. First, twelve-year-old Emmy has been instructed to have her mom’s cousin Lucy, a snarky woman who breeds Chinese crested dogs and aspires for her and husband Harold to be in every posh club in London, including the Thackery Club, act as unofficial guardian. Several things make this year at Wellsworth a little different. She is glad to be reconnecting with her friends Lola and Jack but she knows that her intention to find her long-missing father may put her and her friends in danger, again, with the mysterious and treacherous secret society known as the Order of Black Hollow Lane.
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.After a tumultuous first year at Wellsworth boarding school in England (see my review of The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane), Emmy is both excited and apprehensive about returning after summer holidays. 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. Tris Levin thought moving from New York City to middle-of-nowhere Petersville meant life would definitely get worse.only it actually got better. Superfudge meets The Lemonade War in the second book of this charming, funny, and heartwarming series about growing up, family, change, and as always, doughnuts.
