Overview

Homesickness and a confusing new crush complicate Mia’s camp experience in this second book in a middle grade Cupcake Diaries spin-off series with foil on the cover!

Just as Mia begins to find her place at sleepaway camp, she can’t help but feel like a big part of her is missing. She wishes Aaron and her friends and family back home could be a part of her new experiences at Camp Evergreen.
