It\u2019s a summer of family, friendship, and fun fiascos in this semi-autobiographical novel that\u2019s as irresistible as a fresh-baked cookie.<\/b>
\nEleven-year-old Ellis Johnson dreamed of spending the summer of 1976 hanging out with friends, listening to music, and playing his harmonica. Instead, he\u2019ll be sleeping on a lumpy pullout in Dad\u2019s sad little post-divorce bungalow and helping bring Dad\u2019s latest far-fetched, sure-to-fail idea to life: opening the world\u2019s first chocolate chip cookie store. They have six weeks to perfect their recipe, get a ramshackle A-frame on Hollywood\u2019s Sunset Boulevard into tip-top shape, and bring in customers.
\nBut of course, nothing is as easy as Dad makes it sound, even with Grandma along for the ride. Like she says, they have to GIT\u2014get it together\u2014and make things work. Along the way, Ellis discovers a family mystery he is determined to solve, the power of community, and new faith in himself.
\nPartially based on Shawn Amos\u2019s own experiences growing up the son of Wally \u201cFamous\u201d Amos in a mostly white area, and packed with humor, heart, and fun illustrations, this debut novel sings with the joy of self-discovery, unconditional love, and belonging.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
