Mia in the Middle: Cupcakes & Camp (#1)

Written by Coco Simon
Illustrated by Tracy Bishop
Published by Simon Spotlight

Mia tries to sweeten the disappointment of spending summer away from her friends in this first book in a brand-new middle grade Cupcake Diaries spin-off series!

Mia plans to spend the rest of her summer hanging out with her Cupcake Club friends and her fashionista friends in Manhattan. Who knows, maybe she’ll even be able to meet up with her crush, Aaron—the possibilities are endless. That is, until Mia’s mom tells her she’s going to sleepaway camp.

Now, Mia has to spend the rest of her summer away from her friends, with no phone, and in an itchy uniform. The whole situation is enough to make even the most easy-going baker salty. Can Mia find a way to mix in some fun?
