Katie and the Cupcake Cure (1) (Cupcake Diaries)

Digital audiobook narrated by Jesse Vilinsky

This is the first in the Cupcake Diaries series for middle-school children. Katie Brown is entering middle-school, and she’s understandably nervous. She’ll have to learn the layout of a new and bigger building, and instead of staying in one classroom all day, she’ll be moving from classroom to lab to gym. And it seems her best friend, Callie, is no longer her best friend. Callie’s been invited to sit at the Popular Girls table and Katie is definitely NOT invited to join the group.

This is a delightful read that deals with some of the harsh realities of growing up. Katie does find new friends: Emma, Alexis and Mia, and they form The Cupcake Club, pouring their energies into baking.

I show more can certainly see the popularity of the series. The situations are relatable for most kids, and Simon gives each of these girls a unique talent to bring to the mix. She shows them working well together and supporting one another. And she includes a delicious cupcake recipe, because who doesn’t love a cupcake?

Jesse Vilinsky does a fine job narrating the audiobook. She set a good pace and was believable as a young girl or as a teacher. show less
