That's what I am.

A funny girl.

A friend.

Nobody's girlfriend.

The girl with the pretty

 FACE.

 

    Hayley wishes she could love living in Santa  Monica, blocks from the beach, where every day—and everybody—is beautiful and sunny. But she just doesn't fit in with all the blond, superskinny Southern California girls who have their plastic surgeons on speed dial. Hayley is smart and witty and has such a pretty . . . face. Translation: Don't even think about putting on a bikini, much less dating superhot Drew Wyler. A bikini will never be flattering, and Drew will never think of her as more than a friend.

   Just when Hayley feels doomed to live her life in the fat lane, her parents decide to send her to Italy for the summer—not for school, not for fat camp, just for fun. It's there, under the Italian sun, that Hayley's vision of herself starts to change. She's curvy, not fat. Pizza isn't evil. And life is so much more than one-size-fits-all. Who knows? Once Hayley sees herself in a new light, maybe the girl with the pretty face will finally find true amore.

The SUSANNA Series

         

How does a high-schooler snag a

summer job at the

hottest celebrity magazine in

New York?

 

   Susanna Barringer has it made. Using her guts and wits, she manages to convince British uber-editor, Nell Wickham to let her work at Scene Magazine for the summer. That's when all the trouble starts. While Susanna envisions interviewing Brad and Angelina and Britney, she ends up fetching coffee and low-carb muffins and killing a giant cockroach in her neurotic boss's bathroom. Not exactly the glam internship Susanna had in mind.

   What to do? Figure out a way to get the scoop of the century, of course! Show them what a "mere" teen can do.

   SUSANNA SEES STARS is the beginning of Susanna's romp through the wilds of celebrityville. This series takes her to the Red Carpet on Oscar Night, Fashion Week in New York City and, finally, the streets of London where she falls properly in love.

"I loved it! Susanna's a treat!"

--NY Times bestselling author, Meg Cabot

Have you read....?

Isn't freshman year hard enough

without...

A) Suddenly falling in love with your best friend--literally the boy next door.

B) Meeting a new girl at school who is PERFECT.

C) Seeing that your b.f.has also laid eyes on PERFECT GIRL and can't look away??

Aargh!

PERFECT GIRL is a love story...and much more. It shows how things are not always what they seem, how grown-ups often act like kids, and how love can be the biggest surprise of all.

14-year-old Libby wants one thing:

a serious kiss.

   Not some slobber session beneath the bleachers. Not some lap-kiss in somebody's basement or fake kiss 'cause a guy wants you to think he loves you so you'll do more. No, not a liar's kiss. Libby wants a kiss that's the real deal: Love. True love. Only problem is, her family is in a meltdown, her life is a toxic waste dump, the guy she likes already has a girlfriend, and her best friend just fell in love during detention. Even Juan Dog, her chihuahua, is beginning to wish he were in another family! When it can't possibly get any worse--you got it--it does. 

"Mary Hogan's zany characters make for a memorable read!"

-Meg Cabot, author of THE PRINCESS DIARIES and TEEN IDOL
