It talked about history of the doughnuts and the evolution of it too. Doughnuts were not always ring shaped, they were like a ball then turned ring shaped.

This book NEEDS to be required reading for everyone. Jason Reynolds truly has a gift with words as evidenced in many of his books, but never so much as this book. He has (with the help and full blessing of the author) taken a 600 page history book for adults called Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi and created an approachable version for young people of today. I listened to this on audio, narrated by Jason Reynolds himself. It serves as a nice introduction and overview of Kendi's original text, but in no way is this a cliff notes version. Instead, it is a groundbreaking and empowering book of its own accord that adds to the understanding of what the original text delivered. It will resonate with you for a long time, no matter your age or race.

Nice story

Fabulous book that is perfect for this challenging time. This is a history of some of humanities worst diseases and plagues told with insightful facts, and oddly enough, humor. Sounds horrible, but let me tell you- it was EXACTLY what I needed to read right now. Seeing the mistakes (and triumphs) of our past, helps us to understand our current day situation and how we might tackle this current pandemic. *This book was written a few years ago so there is no mention of COVID-19, only the warning that another plague is bound to happen eventually.

The book was pretty good. I read all about chocolate. But did you know that there is a tree in the world that can be 40 feet! It is called a cacao tree!

This book will make you smile and cry and feel all the feels! It's a heartwarming account of one woman's life-changing interactions with animals of all kinds over the course of her lifetime. It's sweet and honest and will make you look at life differently by the end. Highly recommended. (This has one of the most beautiful covers, too!)

Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I listened to the audio and found it incredibly touching and humorous at times.
