Oscar Olsson enters his senior year of high school with hesitations. Instead of going to school, he'd rather work on his grandfather's food truck making rulleknebab, donuts and other Swedish delicacies. His saving grace is his independent study cooking class until Lou presents a project involving recycling discarded apples from the cafeteria into muffins, cider, and other goodies. Through this project Lou gets to know not only Oscar but also his grandfather, Farfar. This is a fantastic coming-of-age story. These characters are so likeable and well developed. I loved the setting of a food truck and the difficulty in maintaining a food truck business. Oscar grows in so many ways as well as Lou. This was the type of novel where you feel like you'll miss the characters after you read the last page.
