About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling with sibling-like rivalry or needs a model for collaborating with someone who has a very different personality. This sweet and funny story follows cousins Willow and Delia, who team up to bake 200 cupcakes for their grandmother's wedding. Their partnership is tested as organized Willow clashes with creative Delia, all while they try to solve a local mystery about a missing wedding dress. The book gently explores themes of teamwork, appreciating differences, and family bonds. It's a light, comforting read, perfect for middle-grade readers who enjoy realistic stories about baking, family, and friendship with a dash of mystery.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The grandmother is remarrying. This implies the death of her first husband (the cousins' grandfather), but it is entirely in the backstory and not a point of sadness or discussion in the plot. The focus is on the happy occasion of the new wedding. The approach is secular and the resolutions to all conflicts are positive and hopeful.
