Katie, Batter Up!

By Coco Simon

A sporty addition to a sweet tween series that’s all about friendship—and cupcakes, of course!

Katie’s Cupcake Club friends all have other activities besides making cupcakes: Mia and Alexis are on the soccer team and Emma plays the flute. Katie sets out to find her extracurricular niche and soon she’s dribbling, passing, and catching. Sure, Katie can whip up a great cupcake—but can she cook on the field too? When Katie tries out and makes the softball team it’s batter up….But instead of swinging away, she gets nervous during games. What if she makes a mistake?  What if they lose? Is this the kind of batter Katie really wants to be dealing with? Katie starts to figure out that doing what you love always makes the batter sweeter.

From cupcakes to ice cream and donuts!

She is the author of the Cupcake Diaries, the Sprinkle Sundays, and the Donut Dreams series. Her newest series is Cupcake Diaries: The New Batch.

In this adventure it is not her baking that makes it exciting,it is how she will find her hidden talent.She notices that all her friends play sports and she doesn't.Does she relaize that what she wants is not the the same is what she thinks she wants.

Another solid entry in the cupcake girls series, this one with a good message about following your dreams, and when in doubt, listening to yourself and trusting yourself. I only wish the book included recipes for those delicious sounding cupcakes!
