I also liked that Hayley doesn't really get away with anything, and has to face the consequences of her actions.įinally, I will note that while I totally appreciate the author's efforts in promoting food allergy awareness, I think the incident of anaphylaxis as described in the book doesn't really do a good job of spreading accurate information. Papademetriou did a great job depicting the way a teenager might really justify engaging in behavior that they know to be wrong. I found it particularly interesting that in this book, Hayley made a series of bad decisions, the kinds that are probably typical among teenagers. To be honest, there really isn't a lot of cheer in this book, other than the hope that comes with a couple budding friendships. While struggling through her parents' divorce, she loses her two best friends, she pines over a crush, and she finds herself the victim of mean girl behavior. Okay, she has a particular talent for baking cupcakes, and happens to be able to sell them in her grandmother's cafe, but otherwise she really seems normal. She's just a regular kid, trying to deal with regular middle school problems. I liked that Hayley continued to be relatable. Besides fleshing out some characters with autism and food allergies, she also introduces a new character who is Latino. In this sequel to Save the Cupcake!, Lisa Papademetriou continues her commitment to diversity. ![]() ![]() But when a supply party goes missing, the townsfolk begin to worry that the monsters have returned and are lurking just outside the village walls.Įllerie Downing’s father is the village beekeeper, and just as he begins to teach Ellerie how to care for the hives and harvest the honey, tragedy strikes.
