Mother/Daughter Book Club: It's Raining Cupcakes
We have a special group here at the Library--our Mother/Daughter Book Club. This group provides a great chance for girls in grades 3 through 5, along with their mothers, grandmothers, or any other special women in their lives, the chance to share some excellent children's books and stimulating discussion. This month, we will be discussing "It's Raining Cupcakes," by Lisa Schroder. In this book, twelve-year-old Isabel desperately wants to get out of Willow, Oregon (population 39,257). When Isabel's mother decides to open a cupcake shop across town, Isabel is once again stuck in Willow as she helps her mother get the shop up and running. But when Isabel learns of a baking contest where finalists get an all-expense paid trip to New York City, she realizes that this may be her one chance to escape. Two major complications present themselves, however, when Sophie (Isabel's best friend who "is always the best at everything") enters the contest as well and Isabel's mother tell her that she wants Isabel to enter the contest on her own terms. Can Isabel finally spread her wings and do something for herself, without losing her best friend and further straining her relationship with her mother? In this sweet coming-of-age story, Isabel discovers that it's not so much where you do in life as much as it is about enjoying the view wherever you are.
