Synopsis

Will softball be the extracurricular sweet spot Katie is looking for? A sporty addition to a tween series that's all about friendship--and cupcakes, of course!

Katie's Cupcake Club friends all have other activities besides making cupcakes: Mia and Alexis are on the soccer team, and Emma plays the flute. Katie sets out to find her extracurricular niche, and soon she's dribbling, passing, and catching in an effort to find the right sport for her. Sure Katie can whip up a great cupcake, but can she cook on the field too? When Katie tries out and makes the softball team it's batter up...but instead of swinging away she gets nervous during games. What if she makes a mistake? What if they lose? Is this the kind of batter Katie really wants to be dealing with? Katie starts to figure out that doing what you love always makes the batter sweeter.

About this title

About the Author:

From cupcakes to ice cream! Having written over thirty books about middle school girls and cupcakes, Coco Simon decided it was time for a change; so she's switched her focus from cupcakes to her second favorite sweet treat: ice cream! 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 and ice cream cones she's eaten. She is the author of the Cupcake Diaries and the Sprinkle Sundays series.

Abigail Halpin is an illustrator/graphic designer living in New England who likes bright colors, all things retro, and sharp pencils.
