Together, they formed the Cupcake Club, a real business for making cupcakes. So when the school fundraiser event comes up, the Cupcakers are in it to win it!

A sweet and fun book about real-life changes, Coco Simon paints a beautiful tapestry of words for eager readers.

In a carton full of bad eggs, it may be next to impossible to find a good egg. Believe it or not, there is a good egg in the egg cartons. Everyone shows disrespect, but the good egg wants eggs to be nice. A crack forms on the good egg, and the egg doctor says it formed because of tension. Can the good egg find time for herself, as well and reduce tension?

In Mia's newest adventure, she has just won two tickets to see her favorite music group, La Vida Pasa, at her school fair. Thrilled, she invites her best from Katie to the concert, but when she excitedly repeats the day's events to her mom, Mrs. Valez-Cruz refuses! Instead, she says that would only agree if Dan or she were accompanying Mia at the concert. Mia is horrified. Who wants a parent or a moody sibling at a famous sold-out concert? To make matters worse, someone is bullying Mia online. When her mom finds out, it only reinforces her idea that Mia is too young to go to the concert with her friends and even confiscates her electronic devices! Angry and hurt, Mia soon understands the real meaning of being grown-up.

Twelve year old Isabel is dying to get out of Willow, Oregon (population 39, 257) and experience something other than her small town. It seems that everyone gets to travel except Isabel--even her best friend, Sophie. When Isabel's mother decides to open up a cupcake shop across town, Isabel is once again stuck in Willow for the summer as she tries to help her mom get the shop up and running. But when Isabel learns of a baking contest where the finalists get an all-expense paid trip to New York City, she realizes this is her chance to finally get out of Willow. Except there are two major roadblocks to this plan: Sophie, who also is entering the contest and is always the best at everything, and her own mom, who wants her to enter the contest on her terms.Can Isabel manage to finally do something for herself, without losing her best friend and further straining her already tenuous relationship with her mother? In this sweet coming-of-age story from popular teen author Lisa Schroeder, Isabel discovers that it's not about where you go in life as much as it is about enjoying the view wherever you are.

Cupcaker Mia Velaz-Cruz's mom is getting married! Emma Taylor, fellow Cupcaker, is overjoyed: she's all about light pink and satin and vanilla cake, after all. But that doesn't trump the fact that Emma's family is in a financial pickle. Her mom recently got laid off indefinitely, and now Emma has dog-walking, babysitting, and the Cupcake Club to do to help out and sometimes earn money. So when Emma finds out the selected bridesmaid dress is $250, she's horrified; there's no way she can ask her parents for that kind of money! Emma decides to take matters into her own hands. She doesn't want to tell Mia in fear that she'll kick her out of the wedding, or any of her friends. Despite her efforts, though, her responsibilities begin to overwhelm her. A real tearjerker about families struggling money-wise, this is a beautiful and hearttouching novel for all ages.

This book is part of the Macdonald Hall series. This book contains a lot a humour and suspense. Bruno and Boots can make anything happen with there friends. They make there school so much fun to read about. I recommend this to grade’s 2 through 6. Great book

Justin Case follows the exploits of a worrisome third-grader named Justin. The year doesn't start well for him; his best friend is in a different class, his little sister is starting kindergarten, and he's lost his favorite stuffed animal. Third grade can be pretty complicated for the average kid, but for Justin, it can be downright stressful. Justin's year unfolds in a diary-like format starting on the first day of school. I'm getting tired of the "wimpy kid, drawings in a journal" kind of thing. So I was really unwilling to get into the book. It was an okay book overall, but I think my hatred for the wimpy kid format overshadowed how unique the book actually is. Overall, I would give this about 2.5 stars. ~ifeelbookish

Emily's bestfriend, Lizzie, is gone. She can't believe it. When Lizzie's parents and sister return to the town to visit, Emily is still broken. They are as well, and desperate. They are so desperate, that they will even do something unthinkable, and something very crazy. They acted as if Lizzie was Emily, and they told her she is apart of their family now. This book was very interesting, and I rate it 5/5.
