Description
"At his home in Jamaica, August wakes up every morning to the delicious smell of patties. His parents' patty stand used to be popular, but Jamaica is changing. August's friends are leaving, and the patties aren't selling like they used to. Soon, it's his family's turn to say goodbye. Off they fly to cold, snowy Toronto, where August's father takes a job at a cookie factory and comes home too tired to make his beloved patties. One night, after everyone is asleep, August tiptoes into the kitchen and tries to recreate his Daddy's recipe. His attempt inspires his father, and for the first time since they left Jamaica, August wakes up to the smell of fresh patties. Daddy's patties take off, and soon August's parents decide to open a new patty stand with a new name-'Patty Dreams'"--
