The Toast of the Town

By Jory John

Cheers to Toast, the latest member of the #1 New York Times bestselling Food Group series from Jory John and Pete Oswald

Meet Toast. He knows everybody, and everybody knows him. He pops up wherever help is needed--shoveling sidewalks, welcoming newcomers, checking in on neighbors--just because.

But Toast wasn't always so warm and toasty. In his younger days, he kept to himself, loafed around, and mostly just felt a little . . . stale. It took one life-changing moment to help him rise to the occasion.

Can one ordinary piece of toast transform an entire community? And can helping others turn out to be the best thing since sliced bread?

Jory John and Pete Oswald serve up another heaping plate of laughs and lessons with this empowering, witty, and charming addition to their #1 New York Times bestselling series

The ninth book in the Food Group series.
