Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. It’s designed for bloggers to spotlight the upcoming releases that they simply can’t wait to read.
My
pick this week is by one of my fave authors—I absolutely love her tween
storytelling. By the end of one of her novels, I’m feeling pretty good about
life (and friendship). But mostly, I just want to head to my local bakery and
pick up a few confectionery items.
Title: 'Frosting and
Friendship’
Author: Lisa Schroeder
Publisher: Aladdin
Author: Lisa Schroeder
Publisher: Aladdin
Pages: 224
Release Date: 24 Sept. 2013
Summary (from Goodreads):
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 show stopping, 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.
