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 L.A., a block from the beach, where every day—and everybody—is beautiful and sunny. But she's not blond, not tan, and certainly not uber-skinny. Hayley is smart and witty and has such a pretty . . . face. Translation: Don't even think about putting on a bikini or dating superhot Drew Wyler. Face it, Hayley: Drew will never think of you as more than a friend.

Just when Hayley feels doomed to live her life in the fat lane, her parents send her to Italy for the summer. There, under the Italian sun, 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. Especially when she finally finds true amore.

14-year-old Libby wants

one thing:

a serious kiss...

...not some slobber session beneath the bleachers, not some party 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.

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 seen PERFECT GIRL and can't look away??

Aargh!

Thankfully, things are not always what they seem. Or are they? Is real love really the biggest surprise of all?

THE PRINCESS DIARIES and TEEN IDOL

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 mega-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!"
