The Donut Prince of New York

In Allen Zadoff’s The Donut Prince of New York, a plus-sized kid finds acceptance once he joins the football team. That’s more fun than getting ready for a party by having to stretch out a sweater so it won’t seem so tight. And heck, the girl he likes likes him back. But he’d still rather indulge in his love for donuts and musical theater and get the girl anyway. Crazy, right?
