Close to Famous

Close to FamousClose to Famous by Joan Bauer

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


If the beautiful, delicious-looking cupcakes on the cover don’t pull you in, the first page of the story will. Bauer has a gift for creating young, talented, flawed and likable characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this young adult novel about a young girl who is a talented baker, but who has problems that she needs help overcoming. Any young reader will relate with her and be inspired by her as she perfects what she’s good at and faces her obstacles and challenges. I loved Bauer’s Hope Was Here, and liked this one almost as much.
