The Cupcake Queen Book Talk

The Cupcake Queen

Heather Hepler

By: Isobel Fishman


Moving from the big city of Manhattan to the tiny town of Hog’s Hollow, can be very tough. For Penny leaving her father and her best friend to move, is not exactly what she had in mind when she decided to live with her mom when her parents separated.


Hi, I’m Isobel and my book is called The Cupcake Queen by Heather Hepler.


When Penny moves to the small town of Hog’s Hollow, Penny doesn’t like it at all. All the girls of the town decide they hate her, and her mom running a cupcake shop does not make matters better. As time goes on Penny has regrets of moving there, but when she meets Tally, she starts to like it. Many thing happen in this book that will make you want to keep reading!

I recommend The Cupcake Queen to anyone aged 11-15, I personally think girls might find more interest in it though! If you like realistic fiction you will love this book!
