As Thanksgiving rolls around, Aldo Zelnick—a fifth-grade foodie if there ever was one—is flummoxed by his best friend Jack's refusal to try new food.
Jack, who famously eats nothing but peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, is so finicky that he's even grown squeamish about Aldo's incessant talk about food. Meanwhile, a family friend has opened a new restaurant, and Aldo, Jack and Bee are invited for a kitchen tour and cooking lesson and, later, to help serve the homeless on Thanksgiving Day. All this and flash mobs, black-footed ferrets, a new friend with a food allergy, and all the fiddle-dee-dee and folderol this A-to-Z series is known for.
The humorous plot and lively drawings captivate enthusiastic and reluctant young readers alike. This fifth installment in the series also features a vocabulary-building glossary of fun and challenging words starting with the letter F, such as fluke, frenzy, finagle and many more.
