Sadie is a fabulous basketball player, but when she's not on the court dribbling or making baskets, she's usually baking cupcakes for her and her friends in the PLC (Peace, Love, and Cupcakes) club. However she's struggling massively in math. Her best friend Kylie helps with her math and she rocks and wins the basketball game! Plus she gets an A- on her math test. But things go wrong when her parents start fighting a lot and she thinks they will get divorced. Then the club starts losing money when the Golden Spoon Bakery gets a hole in their roof. On top of that, there's a snow storm and all the girls- Kylie,Jenna, and Lexi- stay over at Sadie's house for the night because they can't get home! As they are watching the T.V. they see a commercial for the Battle of the Bakers. So the girls send in a video and are selected to compete!
I liked this book because it showed passion, and the girls put a lot of effort into baking their cupcakes.
Plus in the back of the book they have some of the recipes from the book. It is a great childrens book and I think it would most interest girls from 9-11. Also the friends help each other throughout the book and try to make other people happy with their Cupcakes! It was a very fun book to read because all the girls help each other and they did the Battle of the Bakers which gave a fun kick to it. Also A lesson learned in the book was never give up! That is one of the best lessons you can learn. It was a very fun and interesting book!
Thanks for your opinion on this book--very well written and easy to follow. My eldest granddaughter just turned 11 this week, so maybe she would like to read this. I like the idea of peace, love and cupcakes. That's all we really need in life! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the book. I think I saw it when I was at Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago. Battle of the Bakers sounds like fun. I volunteer to do the tasting!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun book! I love that the recipes were included :). And never give up is a great motto to take away from it.
ReplyDeleteGreat review!! My daughter loves this series so I'll let her know. And we'll have to try the recipes. Thanks!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great review!! I have really loved cupcakes lately.. I love all the little shops that have popped up everywhere. I have a little cousin who is 6 but when she is a little older I will for sure send this book her way!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a cute series and I know I would have loved this book when I was a girl. I'll have to introduce my niece to it when she gets a little older.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I would have loved when I was in that target age range. And cupcake recipes is a total bonus. Great review, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
