This delicious new series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Papademetriou is a real treat!
Hayley has a knack for baking cupcakes with all sorts of ingredients, from cocoa to peanuts to even Thai curry! She and her little sister, Chloe, have just moved into their grandmother's house with their mom, who divorced their dad a year ago and has just been laid off from her job. Hayley often helps out at her grandmother's tea shop, where she gets to practice her cupcake-baking skills. She makes a batch for her new class only to learn that the PTA president's daughter is allergic to gluten. Before she even gets a chance to share her gluten-free cupcake recipe, Hayley finds out that the PTA may instate a school-wide cupcake ban. Now it's up to Hayley and her new friends to "Save the Cupcake!"
