Cupcake Diaries

Katie Brown is miserable when her best friend is invited to join the Popular Girls Club and Katie is left out. Is there an Unpopular Girls Club she can join? Fortunately, Katie finds her way with a great new group of friends—Mia, Emma, and Alexis—and together they form the Cupcake Club. Sometimes starting from scratch turns out to be the icing on the cupcake!

Why Mom likes this series:

  • The characters' different personalities remind me a lot of The Baby-Sitters Club.
  • The characters deal with friendship issues, and I like the conversations it starts for my daughter and I.
  • The characters start their own cupcake catering business, and I love how this brings up issues of managing budget and profit.
