The Cupcake Queen By Heather Hepler

Hog's Hollow is not a place or town . It is the main place where this novel takes action.
I learned through this novel, most teens hide what's going on inside of them , so as not to expose their emotions, or feelings.

Just when Penny begins to accept her new life, she has to make a choice that changes everything for her.
