Airhead


Airhead
By Meg Cabot


" Lulu, I wouldn't even know where to begin."

Em Watts didn't want to go with her sister to get an autograph signed at a new SoHo Stark Megastore. All she wanted to do was stay home and read a book. But when Em realizes that the guy signing autographs is more good-looking than she thought, it wasn't so bad. What she didn't know, was that she was about to be in an accident that would change not only her life, but also a teen super-star model's life forever.

The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Completely Lost It.

The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Completely Lost It
By Lisa Shanahan

"I sit beside my father. I listen to his stories, the murmur of his magic. An owl hoots. The wind is soft against my skin. The fire crackles. The moon is close to sinking. And yet... and yet... I am filled with longing. Waiting  for something I do not know. It blurs the edges of all I do."

This story is being told through Gemma's point of view. Her sister is getting married in less than a year, to her boyfriend of one month. Along with the stress that being the flower girl in your sister's wedding puts on your shoulders, Gemma is Miranda, the main character in her school play. She makes two new friends, Raven, who's older brothers are juvenile delinquents, and Nick, who's mind is wrapped on saving the local park from a new shopping center.
