Foster McFee dreams of having her own cooking show like her idol, celebrity chef Sonny Kroll. Macon Dillard's goal is to be a documentary filmmaker. Foster's mother Rayka longs to be a headliner instead of a back-up singer. And Miss Charleena plans a triumphant return to Hollywood. Everyone has a dream, but nobody is even close to famous in the little town of Culpepper. Until some unexpected events shake the town and its inhabitants-and put their big ambitions to the test. Full of humor, unforgettable characters, surprises, and lots and lots of heart, this is Joan Bauer at her most engaging.

i love this book. It tells me how Foster goes throug twists and alot of turns. Foster is lucky to work with someone famous !!!!!!!!!!

this book is about a girl who likes to bake and baking saved her because she can't read so she bakes instead

This book definitely tells you to anything is possible even in difficult times. Cooking is like her whole life and it might even get better.

Love cooking? Love books that you can't put down? Read this!!!! It shows a girl named Foster's passion for cooking!

This was sweet and enjoyable. Loved the characters. And all the baking made me want to start whipping up my own batch of cupcakes.
