Mia the Way the Cupcake Crumbles

girlpower4ever - The whole world knows that Mia Velaz-Cruz hates Mondays—well, the Cupcakers do, anyway! Every single Monday, things seem to go wrong. Burnt breakfasts, missed buses, and pop quizzes make for one of the worst days in Mia's entire life. But when Mia's cousins bring her an azabache, or good luck charm, she finds her luck turning around. The next day seems perfect: no pop quizzes, no funny business with her locker, a smooth Cupcake Club meeting, and a delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Could this good-luck charm really be the end of Mia's dreadful Mondays? It sure looks like it! Mia begins to even look forward to Mondays, feeling safe in the fact that her azabache will protect her. But when Mia's own choices begin to ruin her day, she must realize that not everything relies on luck. A beautifully-written book for all people coming-of-age!
