Sprinkles Before Sweethearts

Sprinkle Sundays #5

by Coco Simon, Elizabeth Doyle Carey

Tamiko, Allie, and Sierra focus on ice cream rather than crushes in this fifth delicious book in the Sprinkle Sundays series from the author of the Cupcake Diaries series!

It feels like everyone around Tamiko is crazy in love, and it’s driving her crazy! Thankfully, Allie and Sierra would rather brainstorm new ice cream flavors than squeal over a crush. But there’s a small voice inside Tamiko that keeps is there something wrong with her if she’s more interested in sprinkles than sweethearts?

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.

Tamiko is fed up of everyone around her showing love or having crushes, so when she gets paired with Ewan in art she's not happy after all he messed up the ice cream parlour with his friends before!



As she tackles her art project she also has a science project to create but gets side tracked as her and the girls need to come up with new flavours of ice cream to help push customers in to the shop.



Only after she loses her ideas notebook she panics as all their hard work could've been lost and for nothing...



I did enjoy this book but for me it's not the best in the series but highlights how growing up feelings people get change and how we can't help it, we can only accept it. Prepare for a lot of boy drama and some ice cream research too!

to crush or not to crush?

Realistic and full of complaints of a seventh grader. I am glad she didn’t feel the need to like a boy just because everyone else was.

I liked that she had a good conversation with her dad and he was honest with her about crushes when he was younger.

There is no need for 7th graders to “fall in love” or go on dates or anything like that when they have billions of other things to do.

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. Note: There is crushing.
