The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop is the 2020 sequel to the 1987 bestselling novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg (itself the basis for the even-more-popular 1991 film Fried Green Tomatoes). Like its predecessor, the novel jumps between past and present, weaving a web of connections between old friends and new.Set in 2019, it concerns the continuing adventures of Bud Threadgoode, an irrepressible one-armed octogenarian whose Dying Wish to revisit the tiny Alabama town where he spent his happiest years triggers a series of long-shot coincidences, near-misses, and revelations into the past.Ruthie Threadgoode Caldwell, the Generation Xerox granddaughter of Ruth Jamison, is reeling from the sudden death of her dashing young husband Brooks, while simultaneously stuck under the thumb of her controlling, social-climbing mother-in-law Martha Lee. When Ruthie's father Bud pulls a runner from his retirement home, Ruthie makes a frantic journey across state lines to find him. There she meets Evelyn Couch, the main character of Fried Green Tomatoes, who has a whole new attitude thanks to her old friend Ninny. Ruthie desperately needs a Ninny in her life, and since the original is long gone, Evelyn decides to step up. Armed with a shoebox full of old photographs and recipes, Evelyn, Ruthie, and Bud go in search of a town that doesn't exist anymore, except in the hearts and memories of those who lived there.And then there's Idgie Threadgoode, who still has a powerful influence on the people who loved her, and who may not quite be done causing trouble, even from beyond the grave. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
The Wonder Boy Of Whistle Stop / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: A nervous secretary at the retirement home calls Ruthie to tell her that they lost her father that morning under suspicious circumstances and the police are involved. Ruthie, terrified that someone murdered her father, rushes there to discover that her father's not dead; they just can't find him. Minor related incident: The same secretary tries to explain to police that Bud has one arm but occasionally wears a prosthesis. She does such a poor job that the resulting APB states to be on the lookout for a man who "may or may not have one arm," which covers a lot of ground. | |

I Own This Town: A rare non-corrupt example: Idgie, who in her old age is so involved in goings-on of her tiny town of Kissimmee, Florida, that no one would ever dream of doing something without consulting her first. Eventually they give up and make her mayor. Then of course, there's the fact that she literally owns Whistle Stop. | |

It Was with You All Along: In this case, quite literally. With Evelyn's financial assistance, Ruthie and Bud plan to revitalize Whistle Stop, but no one seems to know who owns the land or how much they'll have to pay to get it back. Turns out Idgie won Whistle Stop in a poker game 80 years ago, and when she died, Bud unknowingly inherited it. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Martha Lee constantly boasts of her family's Old Money, and she's particularly proud of an ancestor who was genuine English aristocracy. It isn't until the end of the book that she learns her husband secretly mortgaged their house in an unsuccessful bid to save his failing business, leaving her without the house or the business when he dies. Meanwhile the aristocratic ancestor is actually an unrelated woman with the same surname, and her real Lee ancestor was a Chinese gardener. | |

Big Fun: In the previous book, Evelyn was particularly unhappy about her size. Here she's learned to embrace it: all her friends and business associates talk about how exuberant she is and how much fun she is to be around. Once she makes friends with Ruthie, she's constantly dragging her off for spa days, fancy dinners, and spontaneous getaways to Las Vegas or Hawaii. | |

Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: Since the previous novel, Evelyn has had a series of successful careers. Now retired, she has more money than she knows what to do with—enough, in fact, to fund two virtual strangers in their dream of purchasing an entire town even though in the end, it turns out she doesn't have to. Martha Lee is fabulously wealthy both through her family and her husband's business, so much so that while restoring her historical home, she brags that she doesn't even look at prices because money doesn't matter when her only concern is bringing the house back to its original grandeur, a fact that comes back to bite her when it turns out she's broke. At the end of the novel, the comfortably middle-class Bud falls in love with a woman who modestly declines to mention she's the heiress of the Coca-Cola empire until after he proposes. | |

Double-Meaning Title: We find out in the first chapter that "wonder boy" was Bud's nickname as a kid—not because of any spectacular feat, but because he was always wondering about things. By the end, he's an old man, the last surviving resident of Whistle Stop, and he turns out to be pretty wondrous after all. | |

Retcon | |
The Wonder Boy Of Whistle Stop / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: A few, probably due to the 33-year Sequel Gap, although there are some indications that the extremely popular movie might have informed the sequel. In Fried Green Tomatoes, Evelyn was an attractive, popular cheerleader with many friends in high school, who wonders what went wrong when she hit adulthood. This is retconned to her recalling that she was always a shy, chubby teen who never fit in. In the first novel, Evelyn is 48 in 1986 when she first meets Ninny. In the sequel, she's only 51 years old in 2010, even though she correctly notes that she met Ninny 25 years ago. Her age appears to have been changed in order to make her significantly younger than the 80+ Bud, even though by the original timeline, Evelyn would only be a few years younger than he. note Bud is stated in the first book to have been 16 in 1947 and 57 in 1986, putting his birth year around 1930 and making him roughly 9 years older than Evelyn. However, if Evelyne was 51 in 2010, she would have been born in 1959, making Bud almost 30 years older. In the first novel, Bud's adult daughter is named Norma and the family lives in Birmingham, Alabama. Here she's named Ruthie and she's never lived in Alabama; she was born in Maryland and didn't visit her father's home state until adulthood. Since it's specifically stated that Ruthie's an only child, it's not possible for "Norma" to be a sibling. Ruth Jamison was originally described as having "light auburn" hair. Ruthie Caldwell is said to look exactly like her, hair color included, but is also described as having dark brown hair. Likewise, in the first book, young Stump is noted to be blond, like Idgie, but the sequel states that he had dark hair now gone silver.note In the film, Ruth is played by brunette Mary-Louise Parker, which may be where the confusion stems from. Likewise, Stump is portrayed with dark hair in the film. In the sequel, young Buddy receives a three-legged dog named Lady for Christmas, a gift from Idgie, who got the dog from Eva Bates. In the first book, after Buddy becomes downhearted over his missing arm, Idgie takes him to meet Eva Bates's three-legged dog Lady as a lesson in how you can still enjoy life with a lost limb, but it's the last time the dog's mentioned; there's no indication that he ever saw her again, much less that she ever belonged to him. In the first novel, Ninny tells Evelyn that Whistle Stop still exists as a modernized shadow of its former self, complete with a supermarket and McDonald's, long after the original townsfolk moved on. Here it appears that once the last residents left, Whistle Stop was reclaimed by the woods. | |

Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Bud Threadgoode's legal first name really is Buddy, a fact that further convinced Martha Lee that her son's married into a family of rednecks. He's named after Idgie's beloved brother Buddy…except that in that case, Buddy was a nickname (his real name, as revealed on his gravestone, was James Lee Threadgoode) so Bud is technically named after a nickname. | |

Informed Ability: Ruthie is stated to be academically brilliant, but she never has a career of her own and is so downtrodden that she allows other people to make all her decisions for her. While obviously, it's possible for a very smart person to be weak-willed, and while many people end up with college educations they never use, the book spends a significant amount of time explaining how Ruthie is the total package of brains and beauty, only for neither attribute to be relevant. | |
