Alexis thinks the Cupcake Club feels incomplete--until she discovers that friendship comes in many flavors.

Alexis feels lonely and left out when Emma goes away on a family trip. Sure, Mia and Katie are her friends too, but without her BFF Emma to round out the group, Alexis feels like a third wheel. Then when Ava comes to visit Mia, Katie is the one who feels like she just lost her best friend. Eventually all the girls realize friends are like cupcakes--you can never have too many!

Perfect for Young Readers Ages 9-12

This middle grade chapter book explores relatable themes of friendship dynamics, feeling left out, and discovering that having multiple friends enriches your life. The Cupcake Diaries series combines the fun of baking with heartfelt stories about navigating friendships in middle school.

From cupcakes to ice cream! Having written over thirty books about middle school girls and cupcakes, Coco Simon decided it was time for a change; so she's switched her focus from cupcakes to her second favorite sweet treat: ice cream! When she's not daydreaming about yummy snacks, Coco edits children's books and has written close to one hundred books for children, tweens, and young adults, which is a lot less than the number of cupcakes and ice cream cones she's eaten. She is the author of the Cupcake Diaries and the Sprinkle Sundays series.

Abigail Halpin is an illustrator/graphic designer living in New England who likes bright colors, all things retro, and sharp pencils.
