The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop by Fannie Flagg Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A heartwarming novel about secrets of youth rediscovered, hometown memories, and the magical moments in ordinary lives, from the beloved author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

“A gift, a blessing and a triumph . . . celebrates the bonds of family and friends—and the possibilities of recovery and renewal.”—The Free Lance–Star

Bud Threadgoode grew up in the bustling little railroad town of Whistle Stop with his mother, Ruth, church-going and proper, and his Aunt Idgie, the fun-loving hell-raiser. Together they ran the town’s popular Whistle Stop Cafe, known far and wide for its fun and famous fried green tomatoes. And as Bud often said of his childhood to his daughter Ruthie, “How lucky can you get?”

But sadly, as the railroad yards shut down and Whistle Stop became a ghost town, nothing was left but boarded-up buildings and memories of a happier time.

Then one day, Bud decides to take one last trip, just to see what has become of his beloved Whistle Stop. In so doing, he discovers new friends, as well as surprises about Idgie’s life, about Ninny Threadgoode and other beloved Fannie Flagg characters, and about the town itself. He also sets off a series of events, both touching and inspiring, which change his life and the lives of his daughter and many others. Could these events all be just coincidences? Or something else? And can you really go home again?

Charming and beautiful in every way!. Fannie Flagg never disappoints!

Like catching up with old friends!. This is Fannie Flagg's wonderful sequel to "Fried Green Tomatoes." If you have ever wondered whatever happened to the town of Whistle Stop, and characters such as Bud, Idgie and the rest, this is your chance to find out! Reading this book is likc catching up with old friends. Rarely has a book moved me to the point of literally laughing outloud or shedding a tear for a character, as this one did. There are some surprises, but I will give none away. Suffice it to say that I live in a railroad-related small town, and I can honestly say that once again, Flagg does a marvelous job of evoking small town life 'then and now."

Thank you Fannie Flagg!!. I’m in tears excited about this book!! I don’t think I can tell you thank you enough for writing this!! I love the movie fried green tomatoes. But i always insist people read the book!!

Grab this one!!!. Fannie Flagg can tell a story. Couldn’t put it down. If you loved Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe you are going to feel like you’ve come home. I read it in one sitting. Come on Ms Fannie. Bring on the next chapter!!!

Fried green tomatoes part two!. I loved every second of this book! I actually bought a real paperback copy of this book and devoured it in like two weeks!

TAKES ME BACK TO SIMPLER TIMES. This is one of the most endearing books I have ever read. To me, it is a classic look back in time, whether you grew up in the 40’s or 50’s. The characters are all ones you can relate to, and so real. If you happen to be from the south, you will really identify with the places and situations, however, it resonates with anyplace you grew up in America. This is a home run, and I hope Fanny Flagg gives us more in the future. May Dot, Buddy, Idgie, Evelyn, Ruthie, and all the rest of the gang in Whistle Stop Rest In Peace. I loved you all. Please don’t pass up this book if you relish the simpler times of your life. Jack H, Utah

The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop. You get to love the characters, grow up and get old with them and cry when they die. It’s difficult to put the book down

The book I’ve been waiting for. This is the book I’ve been waiting for ever since seeing Fried Green tomatoes as a little ten year old girl!! I fell in love with Idgie and Ruth and all of Whistle Stop way back then, and was aching to know more. Their love story, the richness of the characters and heart warming town made the biggest impression on me. I wanted more than anything to return to that beautiful place Fannie Flag created once again. After reading this story, my heart is now full. And so happy : ) Thank you thank you thank you Fannie!

The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop. Easy, enjoyable read for fans of the previous book. It was great to find out what became of the characters. This is not an intricate book or plot. It is worth reading once.

Fun read. I have always been a fan of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. The cast played their individual characters much like the first book. This book is a continuation of descendants from the first book. It was fun to remember some of the stories from the past and made me laugh. I hope the story will continued

Completely precious!. A very sweet and fitting happy ending for all of our Whistle Stop friends!

The Boy from Whistle Stop. A very enjoyable, lighthearted read! Rich with interesting characters!
