2011/160pgsI really enjoy Sara Varon's books and her art style (even if Robot Dreams made me a bit sad!)
Bake Sale is an adorably funny book about friendship. Cupcake has a pretty great life-his bakery is doing well, he's in a band, and he has a great friend in Eggplant. But lately he's been struggling to bake. When Eggplant suggests that Cupcake join him on his trip to Turkey. It turns out Eggplant is old family friends with Cupcake's hero, Turkish Delight and Cupcake is sure that Turkish Delight has the answer to his baking woes.
Cupcake ends up not being able to make the trip and instead discovers that he didn't need to travel far to find the answers he was searching for. The artwork is adorably cute and the story of friendship is a nice one. The ending comes a bit quickly which may leave young readers wanting more, but it's a nice addition to graphic novels for older tweens.
