In Layla's hometown, Blossom Valley, a new community center is opening up. But they need to get people excited about the grand opening. Layla and the Bots are helping the best way they know how, by building a cupcake machine!
The third book in the early reader's chapter book series was just as exciting to my seven-year-old as the previous books. We read it together, with him doing all the reading. Which was made very easy by the high-contrasting text bubbles. The cute illustrations made the story fun, and the plot was simple but effective in keeping us entertained.

This is a great early reader chapter book which features a female main character and lots of STEM tie-ins. The book shows problem solving, data collection, and beginning coding as a part of the story. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching, and the text is easy to follow, especially because dialog is handled in conversation bubbles (graphic novel style).
