Bake Sale by Sara Varon

3.0

A cute little book about Cupcake, her bakery, and her best friend Eggplant. It's a fun story, told in graphic novel form, that is simple and has a great message about friendship. As a bonus there are a lot of fun recipes included.

I didn't like how the book just ended, almost on a cliffhanger. I flipped through the last few pages again to make sure I didn't miss something, that's how abrupt the ending way. I'm hoping that means there will be a sequel, or that this is the beginning of a series of books that feature Cupcake and Eggplant. The rest of the story is sweet and simple enough that young readers will really enjoy this book. There are a lot of pages without text so this is the perfect choice for a reluctant reader. It will definitely appeal to girls way more then boys.
