Lynn Visible by Julia DeVillers

From the Publisher: "Lynn Vincent knows all the latest trends and isn't afraid to flaunt her funky style. The problem is, in small-town Pennsylvania, being fashion forward makes Lynn socially backward. And the queen bees at her high school won't let her forget it, especially when her dream of making the IT panel for GlIter Girl—the coolest fashion magazine in teendom—is crushed. But when one of Lynn's unique creations makes it into the hands of a famous designer and onto the runway, it seems that Lynn might finally get her moment in the spotlight." Publisher: Penguin, 2010, 160 pp.

It's Raining Cupcakes by Lisa Schroeder

From the Publisher: 'Twelve-year-old isabel is dying to get out of Oregon. She spends her free time in the library, reading and dreaming about faraway places. When her mom decides to open a cupcake shop in their little town of Willow, Isabel feels just like buttercream frosting to a cupcake stuck. It seems as if it will be another disappointing summer, until Isabel learns of a baking contest. If she can come up with a winning recipe, she might have a chance of competing in the bake-off in New York City! But Isabel's best friend, Sophie, is also entering the contestÑand things always seem to go Sophie's way. To make matters worse, Isabel and her mom don't exactly see eyetoeye on the type of recipe Isabel should enter." Publisher: Simon & Schuster, 2010, 256 pp.
