Emma loses an important modeling job due to an injury she got while playing with her brothers. How will she pay for the beautiful holiday presents she planned for her family and friends?

Emma is playing ball with her brothers on an unusually warm winter afternoon. But an errant toss from her brother Matt hits her right on the nose! Luckily, it’s nothing more serious than a little swelling, but it’s enough to make her lose an important modeling job at The Special Day salon. Mona hires “mean girl” Olivia Allen to fill in. Olivia is thrilled, not only for the job, but also for a chance to spread some nasty rumors about Emma. Worst of all, now Emma can’t afford the beautiful holiday gifts she planned to buy her family and friends. Emma’s Cupcake Club pals remind her that the best gifts come from the heart, and don’t have a price tag.

About the Author

From cupcakes to ice cream and donuts! When she’s not daydreaming about yummy snacks, Coco Simon 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, ice cream cones, and donuts she’s eaten. She is the author of the Cupcake Diaries, the Sprinkle Sundays, and the Donut Dreams series. Her newest series is Cupcake Diaries: The New Batch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting storyline for pre-teens
Reviewed in Canada on August 23, 2022
Verified Purchase
My 11 year old really enjoys this series. Each book has different topics that preteens find interesting and may encounter in their future. One of the storylines in this book, #23, deals with the main characters visiting sick kids in the hospital. The author did a really good job of balancing the seriousness of the topic with the understanding and comfort level of a pre-teen reader.
One thing to note is that the story takes place during the holiday season. The author mentions winter holiday themes and dreidels. So, keep this in mind if you don’t celebrate this time of year.
