Em Watts is an average, somewhat frumpy, high school junior with a love for gaming and very little else. Her little sister, Frida, is a typical high school freshman who dreams of popularity and researches in CosmoGirl for the latest trends in order to become that way. Everything changes for Em when she is forced to accompany Frida to watch the latest music sensation perform at the opening of a Stark Megastore. Somehow, she ends up in the body of a super-model. Meg Cabot has begun a new series, which, reminiscent of the Princess Diaries series, takes an average character and launches her into a New York upper class lifestyle. Em must learn to let go of her old life and accept that she is now a 17 year old supermodel. Cabot has created an engaging and interesting character and plotline that will keep readers intrigued for many books to come.

Recommended grade levels: 8-11
