It's Raining Cupcakes

Isabel wants nothing more than to travel the world.  She spends her time reading travel books and dreaming about future adventures.  But for now she's never left her hometown of Willow, Oregon.

Her mother's latest great idea is to open a cupcake shop, so the whole family has moved out of the only home Isabel's ever known (next door to her best friend) and moved into the apartment above the laundromat her parents have purchased and plan to transform.

Isabel is trying to stay positive, but her mother is so easily discouraged despite all the work everyone is putting into the cupcake shop.

But something amazing is happening, too!  Her best friend Sophie has discovered a baking contest for kids, and the finalists will be flown to New York!  New York!  This could be Isabel's big chance to finally go somewhere.

Will Isabel's mom overcome her fears and insecurities to open an amazing cupcake shop?  Will Isabel finally get to leave Willow, Oregon?  Read the book to find out!
