To all our loyal PLC fans. Thank you for making this such a sweet journey.
Kylie Carson jumped out of bed minutes before her alarm rang. How could she sleep when she was so excited to get to school this morning?
Her mom peeked into her bedroom, surprised to find Kylie already dressed and ready to go. Well, someone’s up bright and early!
You know what day today is?
Kylie asked her.
Let’s see,
her mom replied. Monday, April 6?
Yes…but something even better than that!
"The start of the new season of Cake Boss on TV?"
Kylie paused to consider. Nope, that’s next week. Guess again.
The first day you’ll make your bed without me having to ask you?
Kylie quickly pulled up her purple comforter and fluffed the pillows. Nice try. Keep guessing.
I give up,
Mrs. Carson said. What is today?
Assembly Day!
Her mom raised an eyebrow. "Assembly Day? The day you always complain about because it’s—and I quote—sooooo boring?"
Well, today’s assembly is different,
Kylie insisted. First period, Principal Fontina is going to tell the fifth grade all about graduation!
Oh.
Mrs. Carson smiled. I see.
Can you believe it, Mom? I’m graduating from elementary school six weeks from today!
Her mom sighed. No, I can’t believe it. It seems like just yesterday you were the new kid in fourth grade, and I was dragging you out of bed so you wouldn’t be late for Ms. Shottlan’s class.
Kylie sighed. Oh, yeah. My monster movies presentation. I remember that!
I also remember how nervous you were that you would never make any friends—and look at you now, president of Peace, Love, and Cupcakes.
I guess I have come a long way, haven’t I?
Kylie considered. And next year is only going to be bigger and better. Jenna, Sadie, Lexi, Delaney, and I have lots of plans for our cupcake club in middle school.
I bet you do,
her mom said. And I can’t wait to hear all about them—and the details of graduation. Make sure you take lots of notes.
I will,
Kylie said, kissing her mom good-bye and heading to the school bus stop.

When she arrived at Blakely Elementary, her best friends had already saved her a seat in the front row of the auditorium.
Kylie, over here!
Lexi waved when she spotted her. Hurry!
Kylie chuckled to herself. She remembered how Lexi used to be so painfully shy. Now she was shouting and practically standing on her seat trying to get Kylie’s attention.
"Chica, we saved you a place of honor—next to me," Jenna teased and moved her backpack so Kylie could sit down.
Thanks,
Kylie said. Did I miss anything?
Only Jenna complaining that she’s starving.
Lexi giggled.
I only had one blueberry pancake for breakfast,
Jenna explained. My siblings stole the whole stack before I could have any more.
You have to be quicker,
Sadie advised her. My two bros never beat me to the pancakes because I’ve mastered the grab-and-gobble technique.
She mimed how she swooped in over their heads and lifted a pancake off the pile. It’s like a hook shot in basketball.
I don’t play basketball,
Jenna said. "And you haven’t seen Ricky and Manny in action at the breakfast table. Those twins are
