In these lighthearted episodes, BFFs Katie, Mia, Emma, and Alexis--the Cupcake Club--narrate their own stories. The books revolve around their baking business, but friendship, family, and middle-school challenges are explored. The girls' range of backgrounds and family situations allows more opportunity for readers to find a protagonist with whom they most identify in this sweet, accessible series. [Review covers these Cupcake Diaries titles: Alexis and the Missing Ingredient, Emma Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice, Katie and the Cupcake Cure, and Mia in the Mix.] (c) Copyright 2014.
