The cover art for Heather Hepler's, The Cupcake Queen drew me in to read this light and fun book. Penny arrives at Hog's Hollow, with her mom after her parents separate unexpectedly. She leaves her friends, Dad, and life back in NYC and tries to cope with being new. Mix in "mean girl" Charity along with a new bakery and a new boy and you have a great young teen story about what it's like to truly be the new person in school while dealing with a bit of family drama.
The story starts off a bit slow, but the middle and ending draw you into a great story about finding your way without the fluff of normal stories. Also, cupcake lovers will enjoy hearing about Penny's creative baking strategies and ideas. The author also wrote some great titles that you should explore. Here is a link to the author's website:
