Katie Sprinkles & Surprises

Cupcake Diaries #17

by Coco Simon

The Cupcake Club comes to Katie’s defense when a surprise at school leads to unfair gossip.

When Katie’s mom says it’s time for Katie to meet her new boyfriend, Katie is excited and nervous. She thinks she’s prepared, but she’s shocked instead. Her mom’s boyfriend is Jeff Green—as in Mr. Green, a math teacher in her grade! Katie tries to act as normal as possible, but when mean girl Olivia finds out, she tells everyone that Katie is getting special treatment because her mom is dating a teacher. How can Katie stop Olivia and deal with all the new events in her life? It’s the Cupcake Club to the rescue, as Katie’s friends come to her defense, including an unexpected ally.

About the author

Coco Simon always dreamed of opening a cupcake bakery, but she’s afraid she would eat all the profits. When she’s not daydreaming about cupcakes, Coco edits children’s books and has written close to 100 books for children, tweens, and young adults, which is a lot less than the number of cupcakes she’s eaten. Cupcake Diaries is the first time Coco has mixed her love of cupcakes with writing.

WARNING:SPOILERS!: I really loved this book! I liked how when Katie was being bullied by Olivia, her ex-best friend Callie stepped up and advocated for her. I also like when people were bullying her about Jeff a.k.a. Mr. Green being her mom's boyfriend she took matters into her own hands and stood up for herself. It was really hard on Katie having a teacher as her mom's boyfriend but with the help of her closest friends: Mia, Emma, and Alexis she was able to accept it and she also finally met his daughter, Emily. Turns out Emily and Katie have a lot in common. I won't reread this again because I have so many other books on my TBR pile. I recommend for ages 7+.

Katie's mom is dating Jeff and she wants Katie to meet him. The problem is Katie dose not know that Jeff is the new math teacher at school. To meet him Katie's mom is inviting him for dinner. Katie is a little worried so with the Cupcake Club they decide to make him cupcakes. To make matters worst Olivia is saying that Katie is cheating because Mr. Green is helping her.
I would recommend this book to people who have never seen one of their parents or to people who have problems with there family. I would also recommend it to people who like cupcakes of course.

Katie's mom is coming up and Jeff wants to throw her a surprise party and Katie says yes even though each year she and mom get food and watch wizard of oz. Katie is on track with Callie, Zoey, and other friends. All her friends talking about shaving their legs but, Katie did that. George who Katie likes and like her calls her silly legs. So she shaves her legs and Callie also, tells her why she hangs out with him when she is gross and sweating.....

When Katie's mom says that it is time to meet her boyfriend, Katie is shocked that her mom's boyfriend is the new math teacher at school. Especially since Olivia Allen (who is not very nice) has a crush on Mr. Green! This book is a very good book and I hope you enjoy it!

One of the best Cupcake Diaries books ever! I like it that George and Katie are “best friends” and they like each other.

Katie gets used to life changing when she meets her mom's boyfriend, Jeff/Mr. Green, also the new math teacher at her school.

I bought this and Katie and the Cupcake Cure (Cupcake Diaries #1) for my 9-year-old niece.

These books are cute, if a little preachy. Having personally been in situations like the ones the characters encounter, the books do a good job at showing that things will be okay.

Really cute!

The "Cupcakers" are still making cupcakes and still having growing pains. Together they are not only growing a business, but they are growing up. I am still enjoying the series.
