Katie and the Cupcake Cure: The Graphic Novel (2022) and Mia in the Mix: The Graphic Novel (2022) arrived together, followed by Emma on Thin Icing: The Graphic Novel in 2023. Each adaptation retells the original story with full-color artwork.

These graphic novels give younger readers or visual learners another way into the series. The original Cupcake Diaries books built a large following over their ten-year run, and the graphic format opens the stories up to a new generation of kids who might pick up a comic before a chapter book. The adaptations keep the same characters, friendships, and cupcake business at the center of each story.### content/authors/sebastian-fitzek/index.md DESCRIPTION: Sebastian Fitzek is a German author of psychological thrillers known for high-concept premises and locked-room scenarios, with over a dozen internationally bestselling novels since his 2006 debut Therapy. GENRES: Psychological Thriller, Suspense, Mystery FAQ3_Q: Are Sebastian Fitzek’s books available in English? FAQ3_A: Many of Fitzek’s novels have been translated from German into English, though not all of them are available in translation. Titles like Therapy, The Eye Collector, Passenger 23, and The Package are widely available in English editions. Some books may have slightly different titles in their English translations compared to the original German. BODY: Sebastian Fitzek is Germany’s most commercially successful thriller writer, a position he has held since the publication of his debut novel Therapy in 2006. That first book, about a psychiatrist searching for his missing daughter on a remote island, set the template for his career: claustrophobic settings, psychological tension, and plot twists that upend reader expectations. He followed it with Splinter (2008) and went on to produce a steady stream of standalone thrillers over the next two decades.

His novels frequently use confined or isolated premises to ratchet up suspense. Passenger 23 (2014) takes place on a cruise ship, Seat 7A (2017) is set on a transatlantic flight, and The Inmate (2023) unfolds inside a prison psychiatric ward. Other books like The Eye Collector (2013) and The Nightwalker (2016) play with perception and paranoia in more open settings, but the sense of being trapped, whether physically or psychologically, runs through most of his work. Walk Me Home (2022) and Mimik (2025) are among his more recent releases, keeping up a pace of roughly one novel per year that has made him a fixture on German bestseller lists.
