When Katie tries out and makes the softball...

Alexis has true friends in the Cupcake Club?which is a good thing, because everyone else is calling her names. Everyone in the Cupcake Club was thrilled when mean girl Sydney moved away, but the new girl, Olivia, is even worse than Sydney was! Every time she passes Alexis in the hallway, she says something nasty to her. And if that wasn?t bad enough, she also has all the girls in the Best Friends Club making jokes about Alexis! Alexis has no idea...

She can still see her friends but she no longer goes to the same middle school. So that means new teachers, new classrooms, and new students to deal with--all without her BFFs for support. But when Allie's mom decides to fulfill her lifelong dream and open up an ice cream shop, Allie...

"Lindsay Cooper is about to start middle school. In her free time, she works at her family's restaurant, The Park View, handing out the world's most delicious donuts at the Donut Dreams counter. Her grandmother started the counter as a way to send Lindsay's dad to college, and Lindsay wants to use her job the same way--to make her dream of going to school far away from her small town a reality. Home feels different ever since Lindsay's mom passed...

Sierra does lots of things. She's captain of the softball team, the director of the school play, and she's on Student Council, but her favorite thing to do is work at the ice cream shop with her best friends Tamiko and Allie. But when her parents decide to foster three kittens and their mama, Sierra's life gets a lot more catty! Can Sierra do it all--and maybe find homes for the cats, too?--

While everyone around her seems to be in love, Tamiko is more interested in her own creative projects and does not see what all the fuss is about.

That's great for business, but with Tamiko on vacation with her family in Japan, that leaves just Allie and Sierra to handle the insanely busy ice cream shop. Tempers get short and some mean words are spoken. Can the girls make up before Tamiko returns, and be the "Sprinkle Sundays sisters" again?"--
