Sprinkles and Secrets by Lisa Schroeder - ADVISABLE


Schroeder, Lisa Sprinkles and Secrets, 206 pgs.  Aladdin, 2011. $6.99.  Content: G ; Violence: G.  

Sophie's big dream is to become an actress. When Sophie gets her big chance at a commercial audition, it could make her dreams come true, except the commercial is for a company that could put her best friend Isabel's family bakery out of business. When Sophie isn't completely honest about her situation, she puts her friendship with Isabel in jeopardy. She has to learn how to hold on to her friendships while pursuing her dreams.  

The second in a series about the ups and downs of junior high friendships is delightfully written by Schroeder. This realistic fiction novel is easy to read, with fun characters and a charming sense of humor. Each chapter is titled after a recipe, some of which are included at the back of the novel.
