The Purr-fect Scoop

Sprinkle Sundays #3

by Coco Simon, Elizabeth Doyle Carey

Sierra tries to find a way to balance all of the activities in her life in this third delicious book in the Sprinkle Sundays series from the author of the Cupcake Diaries series!

Sierra does lots of things. She’s captain of the softball team, the director of the school play, and she’s on Student Council, but her favorite thing to do is work at the ice cream shop with her best friends Tamiko and Allie. But when her parents decide to foster three kittens and their mama, Sierra’s life gets a lot more catty! Can Sierra do it all—and maybe find homes for the cats, too?

About the author

Coco Simon always dreamed of opening a cupcake bakery, but she’s afraid she would eat all the profits. When she’s not daydreaming about cupcakes, Coco edits children’s books and has written close to 100 books for children, tweens, and young adults, which is a lot less than the number of cupcakes she’s eaten. Cupcake Diaries is the first time Coco has mixed her love of cupcakes with writing.

First sentence: I knew it had to be there somewhere! I just had to find it.

Premise/plot: The Purr-fect Scoop is the third book in Coco Simon's Sprinkle Sundays series for young readers. In the first book, Allie's parents get divorced. Allie moves with her mom and brother to a nearby town. She misses her best friends Tamiko and Sierra very much. Fortunately, these three friends find a way to be together each and every week. The second book is narrated by Tamiko. The third book is narrated by Sierra.

Sierra loves spending time with her best friends at the ice cream shop, but she doesn't always find it easy to get there on time. She's got a hundred things on her mind, and, all are calling for her attention. It doesn't help her focus any when her parents--vets--bring home a mama cat and her three kittens to foster. There is much adorableness to be had at home. Plus there is increasing tension between her and her twin sister. Will Sierra find a way to balance her super-busy life?

My thoughts: This may be my favorite of the three books. I love character-driven novels. This seems more character-driven than the previous two. I thought the characterization of Sierra and her family was well done. I would recommend this series.

In this book Sierra discovers her sister has secretly gotten a pet snake and their vet parents don't allow them to have pets let alone secret one's!



As she juggles hiding her sisters secret and making it to work with her friends at the ice cream parlour she also finds herself looking after kittens and their mum when their parents have no one to look after them and so the girls each grow attached to them!



As they hold an adoption drive at the parlour, they can just hope they go to good homes...



This was a fun animal filled read especially as cat cafes are all the rage now! I love the tasking on the girls friendship as they all work together and how despite the challenges everything usually turns out fine!

SO GOOD, love Coco Simon, I get Ally and Sierra AND pretty much ALL the characters because they're so relatable. Please read this series, please read all of the Coco Simon books, period. P.S. I love animals, too! This book is great for the animal-lovers like me.
