Close To Famous By Joan Bauer

                                                

                                       "I'm trying hard not to agree with anyone who says I'm a loser."
                                                                      -Foster, Close to Famous

     Foster is a strong-headed, determined, 12 year old girl. She has a really big dream. Her hopes include having a TV show devoted to her cooking, just like her idol Sonny Kroll. Unlike like some kids, Foster has a will and a way. After up and moving, Fosters cooking is put to the test. Out of her trailer she cooks cupcakes to satisfy all the inhabitants of Culpepper.
    
                               "You don't know the power of a cupcake until your life depends on it."

     The only big part of Culpepper is the jail. Every once in a while the family of inmates come visit and very rarely it gets out of hand. Find out how Foster keeps her cool in Close To Famous.
