HAPPY THURSDAY everyone! I love these posts when I get to feature a kid reader for the review. Today, my 10-yr-old daughter Erika is back with her take on IT’S RAINING CUPCAKES by Lisa Schroeder. I will tell you that she read this book cover to cover in about a day, devouring every delicious drop. I’ll let her tell you why.
But before we do that, here’s the fabu list of Bookanista reviews for today:
- Shelli Johannes-Wells chats with Pure and The Summer of Firsts & Lasts author Terra McEvaoy
- Elana Johnson marvels at Moonglass
- Carolina Valdez Miller is giddy over Moonglass – with giveaway

- Lisa and Laura Roecker and Carrie Harris have a passion for Possession
- Megan Miranda swoons over Strings Attached
- Shana Silver delves into Divergent
- Sarah Frances Hardy gabs about Gossip from the Girls Room
- Matt Blackstone is tantalized by Bad Taste in Boys
- Stasia Ward Kehoe glories in a guestanista review of The Rendering
Now, on to Erika’s take on Lisa Schroeder’s IT’S RAINING CUPCAKES. Take it away Erika (and no, I did not edit this at all!)-
Lisa Schroeder did such a sweet job on this book! It is written in a perfect voice for tweens like me, and it’s just so fun. I, personally, would like to start a cupcake shop, and this book inspired me so much that I started inventing flavors and even made up a store name! THANKS IT’S RAINING CUPCAKES!!!
Another selling point for this book is that you can really relate to it. People will be able to relate to the feeling on wanting to do one thing, but feeling obligated to doing something else for your parents because you don’t want to disappoint them. It’s Raining Cupcakes managed to knock another really great title off of my list to the top 5 most amazing awesome books. I just can’t wait for Sprinkles and Secrets.
GO LISA!!!
The sequel, SPRINKLES AND SECRETS, comes out in September and you know who will be dragging me to the bookstore to get it first thing!
What are you reading?
Right now ? Metal Hammer magazine !!! LOL
Thanks, Christina, for not including the picture of the cover. I’m hungry enough as it is. Last thing I need is to crave cupcakes for breakfast. 😀
Thanks to Erika’s EXCELLENT review, this book is going straight on my to-read list!
Superb review! Erika did a fabulous job! I love tween and teen reviews. Such great insight.
Funny, my 10-year-old wrote the review at my blog today, too 🙂 Great review Erika! I love Lisa’s Schroeder’s YA verse novels but haven’t read Cupcakes. Definitely going onto my tbr list!
Aw, love this! Excellent job Erika!
