The bestselling Cupcake Diaries series is now available in graphic novel format! In this adaptation of the third book, Emma’s earning money left and right—but is she in over her head? When Mia asks the Cupcake Club girls to be junior bridesmaids in her mother’s wedding, everyone is super excited about the idea—especially when they find the perfect dress for the occasion! It’s Emma’s dream dress…except for the price tag. And with her mom recently out of work, there’s not a lot of room at the Taylor house for extra expenses. Not wanting to disappoint her friends, Emma decides to take on a few more jobs and chores around the house to help cover the cost. Between babysitting her bratty brother, a dog-walking business, flute practice, the Cupcake Club—and oh yeah, being a typical tween girl—Emma may have bitten off more than she can chew. Can she pull of the balancing act and go to Mia’s mom’s wedding in style? Fun, bright, full-color graphic panels tell the story with the same humor and heart as the original novel.

Mia learns to balance style and substance when she has to get glasses AND braces. Fashionista Mia gets some unflattering news from Katie’s mom, Dr. Brown: She needs braces. And just when Mia thinks things can’t get any worse...they do. Her teacher is concerned that Mia is squinting in class. A trip to the opthamologist confirms it: Mia needs glasses, too! Mia is miserable until her stylish mom comes to the rescue with a plan and a very chic middle school look. And her wonderful Cupcake Club friends reassure her that glasses and braces don’t get in the way of all they really see: the same old Mia.

Emma's younger brother Jake has tonsillitis and makes life difficult for Emma, while the Cupcake Club girls are spoiling him with cupcakes and little gifts.

Emma takes on a few more jobs and chores to afford a junior bridesmaid dress, but she might have bitten off more than she can chew. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Chapter Books is an imprint of Spotlight, a division of ABDO.

Mia finds that one more in the mix is always better in this treat of a tween series! Mia is getting used to her new family now that her mom is remarried to Eddie and she’s gained a new stepbrother, Dan. She’s in the groove of going to her dad’s house on the weekends, and everything is going pretty well at home and at school. Well, except for Spanish class. Mia’s parents and stepfather speak it and she does too—but speaking it and writing it are two different things, and somehow Mia ends up in the hands of the merciless Mrs. Alvarez and almost failing Spanish class. Still, things are so good at home that Mia doesn’t want to worry anyone or rock the boat. But when her parents find out—all three of them—she realizes that instead of having two parents, she’s lucky enough to have three, and all three of them pitch in to help her. A baker’s dozen is a bonus!

Alexis is the clear leader of the group. She's organized, punctual, and happy to take on the stuff like scheduling, budgets, invoicing, and the things that the other girls in the CC don't really want to do. In other words, the "unfun" things. One day, in a burst of feeling unappreciated, Alexis informs the Cupcake Club that she is no longer "in charge." But when deadlines get missed and supplies aren't bought, the girls realizes somebody definitely needs to be the leader. And Alexis realizes being the leader is kind of cool; as long as you know when to ask for help when you need it!
