Bookroo's summary
Mia's world turns upside down when she learns she needs both glasses and braces. As a budding fashionista, this news feels like a disaster. But with her mom's stylish intervention and the unwavering support of her Cupcake Club friends, Mia embarks on a journey to discover that true style comes from within. Will she embrace her new look and find confidence in who she truly is, or will the pressure of appearances overwhelm her? Dive into Mia's story to find out how she balances style and substance in middle school.
From the publisher
Mia learns to balance style and substance when she has to get glasses AND braces. Fashionista Mia gets some unflattering news from Katie’s mom, Dr. Brown: She needs braces. And just when Mia thinks things can’t get any worse…they do. Her teacher is concerned that Mia is squinting in class. A trip to the opthamologist confirms it: Mia needs glasses, too! Mia is miserable until her stylish mom comes to the rescue with a plan and a very chic middle school look. And her wonderful Cupcake Club friends reassure her that glasses and braces don’t get in the way of all they really see: the same old Mia.
