She bites into the cupcake her mother packed her for lunch and for a second closes her eyes.

Which gives her an idea...With three new friends Katie forms a club as a way to spread the cupcake love and earn some cupcake cash. |
Contributor Bio(s): Simon, Coco: - From cupcakes to ice cream and donuts! Having written over thirty books about middle school girls and cupcakes and ice cream, Coco Simon decided it was time for a change; so she's switched her focus from cupcakes to her third favorite sweet treat: donuts! When she's not daydreaming about yummy snacks, Coco edits children's books and has written close to one hundred books for children, tweens, and young adults, which is a lot less than the number of cupcakes, ice cream cones, and donuts she's eaten. She is the author of the Cupcake Diaries, the Sprinkle Sundays, and the Donut Dreams series. |
