It's Raining Cupcakes

By Lisa Schroeder

Book Overview

Twelve year old Isabel is dying to get out of Willow, Oregon (population 39, 257) and experience something other than her small town. It seems that everyone gets to travel except Isabel--even her best friend, Sophie. When Isabel's mother decides to open up a cupcake shop across town, Isabel is once again stuck in Willow for the summer as she tries to help her mom get the shop up and running. But when Isabel learns of a baking contest where the finalists get an all-expense paid trip to New York City, she realizes this is her chance to finally get out of Willow. Except there are two major roadblocks to this plan: Sophie, who also is entering the contest and is always the best at everything, and her own mom, who wants her to enter the contest on her terms.Can Isabel manage to finally do something for herself, without losing her best friend and further straining her already tenuous relationship with her mother? In this sweet coming-of-age story from popular teen author Lisa Schroeder, Isabel discovers that it's not about where you go in life as much as it is about enjoying the view wherever you are.

Nice book

Great quick read for everyone. I liked the idea of the possibilities of cupcakes and their dreams coming unfolded. I was able to read this book nonstop and finished it in 3 hours. I’m curious to see what the following books unfold and to see what happens.

My 10 and 11 year old girls ate it up!

I bought this for my daughter’s because they loved the just add magic books. They read this book in 2 days and loved it. They like the dynamics of the friendships and the baking too
