Frosting and Friendship — Lisa Schroeder

Has Lily bitten off more than she can bake? A sweet treat from the author of "It s Raining Cupcakes "and "Sprinkles and Secrets."

On a scale of zero to ten, twelve-year-old Lily Hubbard is a zero when it comes to baking. Her cookies turn out salty, her cakes tend to lean, and things are always overcooked.

When Lily is invited to be a part of a mother-daughter book club called The Baking Bookworms, she is excited and terrified. It seems like she s the only one who didn t inherit the baking gene.

But she does have the music gene, which is why she s forming a band that will audition for their school s annual Spring Fling. If, that is, Lily can balance her priorities. Because Isabel, one of the Baking Bookworms, has asked Lily to help plan a surprise party for their mutual friend Sophie. And the task is creating a showstopping, mouthwatering, thirteenth-birthday-party-worthy dessert. Uh. Oh.

Soon, Lily finds herself knee-deep in sugar and sheet music as she tries to juggle her responsibility to her bandmates AND give her friend the best party ever.
