Cute story based on the opening of the first Famous Amos cookie store in the seedy section of Sunset Boulevard in the 1970s.
Ellis is bummed when his father buys a rundown building on Sunset Boulevard and elicits his help to renovate it into a cookie store. Much happens in this book. Ellis becomes more acquainted with his black heritage, hangs out with a DJ at the local radio station, meets some of the more interesting residents in the area, and figures out how to get dozens of bags of chocolate chips from the grocery store to the cookie shop.
Always a good sign when there's a sequel in the works.
