Emma on Thin Icing
When Mia asks the girls in the club to be junior bridesmaids in her mother's wedding, everyone is super-excited about the idea... especially when they find the perfect dress for the occasion! It's Emma's dream dress, except it's a little more than she expected. And with her mom now out of a job (she's been put on furlough at the library) there's not a lot of room at the Taylor's house for extras.
But not wanting to disappoint her friends, Emma decides to take on a few more jobs and chores around the house to help cover the cost. Between babysitting her bratty brother, a dog-walking business, flute practice, the Cupcake Club - and, oh yeah, being a typical tween girl - Emma may have bitten off more than she can chew. Can she handle it all?
