The Center of Everything by Linda Urban

This is a quiet read for middle schoolers, so it's not my cup of tea.  I understand there are readers for this type of book out there though!

Twelve-year-old Ruby Pepperdine is trying to figure out how to deal with the recent death of her grandmother while she's waiting to read her winning essay about Capt. Bunning, the man who founded her town and brought the doughnuts to America.  I was thankful that the author ended the novel with a note explaining that Capt. Bunning was made up--I was afraid that readers wouldn't know!
