About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is the new kid in school or is struggling to find their place in shifting social circles. The story follows Kylie, who feels lonely and targeted by a popular mean girl after moving to a new town. She soon finds friendship with three other girls who also feel like outsiders. They bond over a shared passion for baking and form a club, Peace, Love, and Cupcakes, which quickly turns into a small business. This sweet, accessible story explores themes of finding your tribe, embracing your unique talents, standing up to bullies, and the power of teamwork. It's a perfect choice for early chapter book readers, ages 7 to 10, looking for a relatable story about navigating the ups and downs of elementary school friendships.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals directly with realistic social bullying (name-calling, exclusion, rumor-spreading). The approach is secular and grounded in a typical school environment. The resolution is hopeful, as the girls find strength, confidence, and success through their own collaborative efforts rather than adult intervention.
