Information

Cara has never been one of those girls: confident, self-possessed, and always ready with the perfect thing to say. A girl at the very top of the popularity tower. One of the Populazzi. Now, junior year could change everything. Cara?s moving to a new school, and her best friend urges her to seize the moment?with the help of the Ladder. Its rungs are relationships, and if Cara transforms into the perfect girlfriend for guys ever-higher on the tower, she?ll reach the ultimate goal: Supreme Populazzi. The Ladder seems like a lighthearted social experiment, a straight climb up, but it quickly becomes gnarled and twisted. And when everything goes wrong, only the most audacious act Cara can think of has a chance of setting things even a little bit right. Ages 14 and up Grades 9 and up AUTHOR: Elise Allen is a vibrant new voice in teen fiction. Elise has also written for children?s television and film. She lives with her family in Southern California.

"Fresh, funny, and sometimes wrenching, "Populazzi" nails what it's like to try to find yourself while navigating the crazy world of high school. I loved it." --Hilary Duff

"Populazzi is a fresh, fun peek behind the popularity curtain. Elise Allen is a welcome new voice in YA fiction." --Eileen Cook, Author of "The Education of Hailey Kendrick "

"In her first solo novel, Allen (coauthor of Elixir with Hilary Duff) offers a smart mix of hilarity and tragedy in this Macbeth--meets--"Mean Girls tale, though readers may lose sympathy for narrowly focused Cara, who seems to lose all reason and compassion as her greed for power takes over."--"Publishers Weekly"
