review 1: I really love this book because the writer puts a unique problem in the book. Mia the main character has trouble in Spanish even though her parents are Spanish. She knows how to speak Spanish really well but not really read it or write it. Just like me, I know how to speak Chinese really well but I’m still learning how to read it and write it. Anyway, the bad part is that Mia’s mom does not even know! That is not like me. Mia also is in a cupcake club and she is too busy to study. That is a problem too. She keeps it a secret and holds it off until it was almost the parent teacher conferences. That is one of the reason I like this book so much. The writer makes a small problem, but she stretches the problem through the whole book and puts minor problems to stop her from... more solving her biggest problem. So it’s not just one problem . The only reason I read this book is because its series was the cupcake dairies. But when I was done, I realized it does not matter what series it is, I still loved it. You should read it too!
review 2: Mia struggles with having her dad in New York City while she lives in the suburbs with her mother and step father, but she feels even worse when she is failing Spanish, a language that both her mother and father speak fluently. She even makes a mistake in Spanish that makes a friend mad at her boyfriend! Cupcakes are one thing-- Mia loves to bake and comes up with a lot of good ideas, but she isn't as good at handling her homework load or asking for help when she needs it. She does have some other talents and is a good friend to a neighbor girl, but has to work up the courage to tell her parents about her grade.Strengths: I like how the blended family is portrayed realistically, and struggles that commonly go on are shown in a positive way. Weaknesses: Still not understanding the Popular Girls Club or quite buying that the cupcake business is that good, but this is still a fun series. Still need Emma All Stirred Up and Alexis Cool as a Cupcake. less
