This first book in The Cupcake Diaries is told through the perspective of Katie Brown. We find Katie miserable on the first day of middle school. Her best friend Callie came back from camp boy-crazy and part of a whole new group of friends. When it's made clear that Callie is in the PGC (Popular Girls Club) and Katie is not invited to join, Katie suddenly feels incredibly alone. Katie realizes if she’s going to survive middle school she needs to seriously regroup and find some new friends. But how? She bites into the cupcake her mother packed her for lunch and for a second closes her eyes. The sweet treat makes her happy—finally something goes right! Looking around her table, Katie notices the other students seeming a bit lost, as well. Which gives her an idea…With three new friends Katie forms a club as a way to spread the cupcake love and earn some cupcake cash.

Katie and the cupcake cure is an adorable book and launches the start of the cupcake diaries series! I love that this book pretrays such a realistic and great friendship that is very easy to relate to. In the book Katie is such a normal person its even easier for me to relate to1 Because of this book i now plan read the rest to come because of how great this book is1
I really love this book I am trying to read the whole series I love that they always bake cupcakes and the way that they got to be friends
it was a good book because it had a lot of suspense and lots of detail
This was such a fun book! Katie is a funny character that is always willing to help others and loves to bake cupcakes. I enjoyed this book and recommend it!
Middle school has been rough so far for Katie. Her best friend dumped her for the popular group and she remains friendless. She meets three girls and all of them have something in common: They all love to bake. Will the friendship last?
Katie and the cupcake cure was a really good book I loved it. Katie thinks that middle school won't be that hard maybe some more homework, but all in all easy, with her best friend Callie with her. The first day of school comes and Katie gets a surprise. At the bus stop Callie leaves her for a group of mean girls in a club called the popular girls club. Katie is hurt and then realizes middle school might not be that easy after all. Then she meets some girls Mia, Emma, and Alexis. They all love cupcakes ( who doesn't ?) and form the Cupcake Club. I LOVED this book!
cool
Ahhh, this is such a cute little series. I have all the books, and am so glad to read it. This book series is so charming, i love the way the characters are designed and so real.
This book, although essentially geared towards younger readers, was pretty good. In it, a middle schooler named Katie finds herself alone when her best friend has suddenly become popular. She sets out to find some new friends, and they bond by creating a cupcake club. This talks about a lot of true middd school issues, such as friendship troubles and boy issues, in a very sweet way. Readers can connect with Katie's compassion and sensitivity, as well as with her friend's excitement and issues. Overall this is a simple yet very touching story for readers of all ages.
Katie was a good character. I liked that she liked finding out things. She met new friends that love cupcakes just like Katie and they started a club and make money because it is a business. It is really neat when they use really good words to describe their cupcakes like how the frosting is and the cake. Makes me want to eat them. :)
