Publisher Summary

In the second book in the Gabby Torres graphic novel series, nine-year-old Gabby discovers the true meaning of winning when she enters a baking contest, perfect for fans of THE CUPCAKE DIARIES and DORY FANTASMAGORY. Gabby has a new idea: now that she’s finally learned how to not burn her cookies, she will become the best baker the world has ever seen! The local grocery store’s baking competition is the perfect opportunity to show everyone what she’s made of… winner material! All she needs to do is buy books for research and baking supplies… and more baking supplies… and more baking supplies… oh dear. What will happen when her money, and her parents’ patience, runs out? This heartwarming series is written and illustrated by Angela Dominguez, the New York Times bestselling illustrator who created the beloved Stella Díaz series. Gabby Torres is tenacious, bold, relatable, and hilarious, reminiscent of favorite characters like Junie B. Jones, Clementine, and Ramona Quimby.
