Peace, Love and Cupcakes (The Cupcake Club, #1)
Kylie will never survive fourth grade in her new school without friends. And starting a cupcake club seems the perfect way to meet other girls. But getting the club up and running is not easy- especially with trouble spelled M-e-r-e-d-i-t-h trying to ruin them. In taking on the class mean girl, Kylie and her new friends may have just bitten off more than they can chew.

Enter a very wise, very hip first year drama teacher, Ms. Juliette DuBois. She notices the pain that Kylie is living with each day at school, even though the other teachers don't. Juliette confides in Kylie and tells he...more

I enjoy baking, and I also really love cupcakes, so Brenna thought that this would be a good pick for me. Although this book was written for a younger audience, I really liked it and thought that it was pretty was pretty good novel that I didn't find overly juvenile (and the cupcakes were a neat twist). This one could definitely be enjoyed by readers who like reading MG books.

PEACE, LOVE AND CUPCAKES is the first book in the new series The Cupcake Club by Sheryl Berk & Carrie Berk, a mother-daughter writing team. This series is going to be perfect for kids in the grade 4 and 5 age range as it revolves around Kylie, a grade four student.
Kylie has only been at her Connecticut school for a year, and grade four is just as awful as grade 3. Meredith, a popular girl at school, won’t stop making fun of her and saying cruel things and Kylie’s favourite teacher is moving....more

Adorable story that is a nice read for girls in 3rd or 4th grade. The characters are notably "not popular" and they realize that it doesn't matter. It addresses bullying and the difficulties of friendship that tween girls eventually face. It even mentions awkwardness, weight issues and dyslexia. The best feature is probably that it sets these everyday, just-like-me girls into successful businessgirls, a dream that so many young girls share. They have fun, make money, enjoy fame (in a 4th grade w...more

This was such a great book. This is book one of the new Cupcake Club Book Series. It's cute, it's girly, it's cupcakes! I read this to my seven year old daughter each night before bed and we just both adored it from beginning to end. She now wants to start a club of her own, which I think is great and perfect for this Summer. This book will definitely make you want a cupcake when you finished it and the we loved that if we wanted to we could make cupcakes because the book comes with a few recipe...more
5 reasons why this book is marvelous!
It’s about cupcakes. And the best part is that the authors have included the three important recipes from the book so readers can bake them themselves!
The book is co authored by a mother-daughter duo. Sheryl Berk is best known for her book Soul Surfer, and her daughter, Carrie is a 9 year old cupcake connoisseur! And like the author duo, Kylie and her friends work/bake together as a team.
The novel addresses bullying on a middle school (actually 4th grade)...more

Really sweet for a young reader. It was nice to see Kylie actually paying attention to other kids' tendencies and being respectful of them to encourage friendship. And it was nice to see the actual cupcake recipes in the back of the book!
Best book ever! This book was really exciting! The storyline was very interesting because it talks about a lot of yummy treats! I loved the recipes in the book too. I am now starting the sequel that just came out.
This was a fun little book that focused on four girls who started a cupcake club at school. I thought this was such a lovely book. There was also a good message about bullying as well.
3-stars for the literary appeal, but 5-stars for the very real older elementary girl feelings and the great discussions together about the social situations for these girls.
I liked the book because it showed me how you have to work together and take your time on things. And I liked it because at the end it showed you different recipes of desserts.
This is a fun read that will have you drooling for cupcakes. And what in the world is the "Batter Butt Dance"?!
The first in the series.
I seem to be into cupcakes - I'm reading about them in J fiction and adult!
