Like Carrot Juice on a Cupcake

In this third installment from the author/illustrator team of Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie and Like Bug Juice on a Burger, a new girl at school throws Eleanor's relationship with her best friend Pearl into disarray. At first, she's excited about the possibility of a new friend, but when Pearl is assigned to be the new girl's buddy, Eleanor starts to feel like she's losing her best friend. On top of that, she's been chosen for the lead role in the springtime musical, which means singing a solo in front of the entire school! Once again, Sternberg's writing is pitch perfect as Eleanor navigates the bittersweet waters of growing up.
