Talent by Zoey Dean: You Either Have It or You Don't
In Talent Mackenzie Little-Armstrong has everything a rising eighth-grader could want: she's beautiful and she's rich, thanks to writer father and agent mother. But what she wants is to find her own talent. When she sees Emily Mungler fake her into an A-list party, she's determined to turn her into a star. But there's more riding upon Emily than her own happiness. Turning Emily into a star would lock the position of social chair for Mac, and she needs it when Ruby starts competing against her.
The unique premise of Talent is refreshingly different from the other decent middle school stories of new-girl-comes-to-town-and-wants-to-join-the-popular-crowd cliche. The twists in the plot lead to a suspense that will keep tweens and teens reading 'til the very last page.
Talent is scheduled to hit the shelves June 2008, but you can pre-order it now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Talent-Zoey-Dean/dp/1595141782/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202708450&sr=1-4

You have officially beaten me to reviewing something.
I am so proud.
*tears up*
From B&N:
"Zoey Dean is the pen name we're using for Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld, who live in Hollywood and have written numerous teen novels, including The A-List #1 and the New York Times bestselling The A-List #2: Girls on Film.
We chose the name "Zoey Dean" so the series will be shelved prominently and right next to Meg Cabot's mega-bestselling Princess Diaries series."
Note from me: In order for it to be truly "right next to" Cabot, the last name should have been Cable or Cabbie or... !
Agree with your "Note from me"
and your extra comments turned "1 Comments" into the grammatically correct "2 Comments"
