Wow, did I love this fun middle grade novel! A book with cupcake in the title, and a cute cover like this, who can resist? Katie is a fun and believable main character and gets a great new friend in Mia, after Callie suddenly finds herself to cool to be best friends with Katie (dumb action Callie!) I just loved how it was written, the plot was fun, and altough I sometimes knew what was coming, I enjoyed every part of it! Kick off of a fun new series, yay!
