A city girl is whisked away to a small town to help her mom run a cupcake bakery in this delightful young adult novel. An endearing and poignant story about standing up to adversity and finding peace in what is, rather than holding out for what could be . . . makes for layered teen reading.--Publishers Weekly Penny's sardonic first-person narration is sophisticated . . . Readers will root for Penny, a talented artist, as she develops her gifts and adapts to small-town life.--Kirkus Reviews Can one cupcake sweeten a whole relationship?
When Penny arrives at Hog's Hollow with her mom, her life changes drastically. Penny's mother now runs a bakery that sells only cupcakes, and Penny is stuck helping out. But that isn't the worst of it. Not only did she leave her friends back in NYC, but her dad stayed behind too. And then there's Charity, resident mean girl who's out to get Penny for no reason at all. But there are also her new friends: Tally and Blake . . . and Marcus--the cute, quiet boy who runs on the beach every night. Just when Penny begins to accept her new life, she's forced to make a choice that will change everything . . .
