Close to Famous


Close to Famous by Joan Bauer J BAU —As always, Bauer’s books are wonderful.  Close to Famous is no different.  She deals with real life with all its joys and sorrows.  Foster and her mom have moved to Culpepper, a small, small town, in order to escape from her mom’s scuzzy ex-boyfriend.  Foster immediately finds her way into the hearts of the town with her scrumptious cupcakes.  She is a very talented baker.  But she is hiding a terrible secret—she can’t read.  But with her new friends, perhaps she can overcome her fears and learn how to be happy.
