The Cupcake Queen is about a fourteen-year-old girl named Penny Lee who has a lot of crazy things going on in her life. Not only are her parents divorcing, but she has to deal with moving all the way from Manhattan to a little town named Hog’s Hollow, where they crown a Hog Queen every fall. She feels that she has no say in what is happening and feels like her parents are completely blocking her out. Her mom owns a new bakery, called The Cupcake Queen, where she helps out and goes to in her spare time. She knows how to decorate the cupcakes and is a very creative girl. One day, when her mom needs help to catering a party, Penny decides to go. Only when they get there does she realize it is for the meanest, most selfish girl in Hog’s Hollow, Charity, who also happens to be in her grade. From there, disaster strikes. Cupcakes fly, ruining the party, but worse, Charity haunts Penny from then on. At school, Penny is bullied by Charity and her friends, leaving Penny to end up being completely aggravated with her life at Hog’s Hollow. Only when she meets some friends, Tally, Blake, and Marcus, do things look up. Penny even enters a contest to create a float for the Hog Queen Parade!
Will Charity ruin her chances at winning? What happens when Penny’s dad offers to let her come back to New York City? Penny is forced to make big decisions, but luckily has her friends by her side. Rating: ****Alana F.
