The fourth entry in the popular Cupcake Diaries series for middle-school-age children, shines the spotlight on Alexis Becker, who is the business champion of the four friends who make up the Cupcake Club.
Alexis likes math and feels comfortable doing research and analyzing data before making decisions. She usually handles the finances for the club, but right now she can’t think straight because she is in a fog with a major crush on Matt Taylor, Emma’s older brother.
Ah, the drama of first love! The flutters and stomach aches. The chance for a dance and the embarrassment of not being able to control a blush. But the middle-school years are full of more than just crushes. There are other issues including an older sister who is demanding all the attention lately, a fight with a best friend, a rival for the crush’s attention, a cupcake business to run, and math homework.
I’m glad I had the chance to read these first four books, which introduce each of the Cupcake Club members. They’re delightful books with relatable characters and scenarios. I’d have no hesitation recommending them to middle-school students.
