From the publisher

The upcoming talent show has Mia struggling with her confidence in this third book in a middle grade Cupcake Diaries spin-off series! Mia finds herself in a rut when Camp Evergreen announces a talent show and she's the only one out of all her friends who doesn't have a hidden talent to perform. And that's just the beginning. Things with Steven have been off, and Mia feels like she hasn't been able to get one thing right ever since the talent show was announced. In the height of self-doubt, Mia gets the chance to show up in ways that are more important than showing out. Can she rise to the occasion and help someone find their confidence?
