The second installment in the beloved Fairy Tale Reform School series where the teachers are (former) villains Sometimes it''s good to be bad... It takes a (mostly) reformed thief to catch a spy. Which is why Gilly Cobbler, Enchantasia''s most notorious pickpocket, volunteers to stay locked up at Fairy Tale Reform School...indefinitely. Gilly and her friends may have defeated the Evil Queen and become reluctant heroes, but the battle for Enchantasia has just begun. Alva, aka The Wicked One who cursed Sleeping Beauty, has declared war on the Princesses, and she wants the students of Fairy Tale Reform School to join her. As her criminal classmates give in to temptation, Gilly goes undercover as a Royal Lady in Waiting (don''t laugh) to unmask a spy...before the mole can hand Alva the keys to the kingdom. Her parents think Gilly the Hero is completely reformed, but sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. Sometimes it''s good to be bad... This series is perfect for read-alongs between parents and kids and engaging reluctant readers.

(I always wanted to know what happened to Cinderella''s stepmother too!)"—Julia DeVillers, author of the Liberty Porter, First Daughter series and co-author of the Trading Faces series "Spell-binding and wickedly clever."—Leslie Margolis, author of the Annabelle Unleashed novels and the Maggie Brooklyn mysteries

Patnáctiletá Izzie se musí přestěhovat do rodiny bohatého strýce. Jejich rozmazlená dcera Mira tráví čas nakupováním drahého oblečení, opalováním u bazénu a večírky.

Would you send a villain to do a hero''s job? Flunked is an exciting new twisted fairy tale from the award-winning author of the Secrets of My Hollywood Life series. "Charming fairy-tale fun." -Sarah Mlynowski, author of the New York Times bestselling Whatever After series. Gilly wouldn''t call herself wicked, exactly...but when you have five little brothers and sisters and live in a run-down boot, you have to get creative to make ends meet. Gilly''s a pretty good thief (if she does say so herself). Until she gets caught. Gilly''s sentenced to three months at Fairy Tale Reform School where all of the teachers are former (super-scary) villains like the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Queen, and Cinderella''s Wicked Stepmother. Harsh. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there''s more to this school than its heroic mission. There''s a battle brewing and Gilly has to wonder: can a villain really change? "Fairy Tale Reform School is spellbinding and wickedly clever. Gilly is smart, spunky, and a hilarious narrator, and I cannot wait to read about her next adventure!" -Leslie Margolis, author of the Annabelle Unleashed novels and the Maggie Brooklyn mysteries "Fairy Tale Reform School is a fresh and funny take on the enchanted world. (And who hasn''t always wanted to know what happened to Cinderella''s stepmother?)" -Julia DeVillers, author of the Trading Faces identical twin series and Emma Emmets, Playground Matchmaker

Harper, které na letním táboře přezdívají Barbie, bere tento pobyt jako rodičovský trest. Musí zde odevzdat mobilní telefon, nesmí používat žehličku na vlasy, většinu oblečení má poslat zpátky, protože se do chatky nevejde. Zvyká si na ta příkoří jen pomalu – naštěstí se objeví hezký kluk Ethan, který má o ni zájem. Jenže by to nebyla Harper, aby něco nepokazila.

A fresh and funny summer-camp companion novel to Jen Calonita''s hit Sleepaway Girls.

La fête donnée en l''honneur de leur seizième anniversaire approchant a grands pas, les demi-soeurs Isabelle Scott et Mirabelle Monroe sont prètes à s''émanciper. Et le fait qu''elles sont les filles d''un personnage public important leur importe peu. Ainsi, quand Zoé, la tante qu''Izzie n''a jamais connue, débarque en ville a l''improviste, survient peut-être le changement dont a besoin la famille Monroe - ou pas, selon la personne interrogée. Heureuse avec son mignon petit ami surfeur et un groupe de très bonnes amies, Izzie ne ressent pas l''intérêt de faire la connaissance d''un autre membre inconnu de sa famille. Cependant, Mira, qui s''est donné pour mission de faire de nouvelles expériences et rencontres - avec un beau peintre rêveur, entre autres -, est attirée par la tante créative d''Izzie, qui semble le contraire absolu de la guindée famille Monroe. Amesure que les filles tentent de négocier les tournants imprévus qu''emprunte leur vie, l''attitude décontractée de Zoé finit par les charmer toutes les deux.

Aller s''installer sur la côte Ouest, est-ce ce que désire Izzie pour ses seize ans ?

After her brilliant run on Broadway and surviving the harsh concrete jungle of New York City, seventeen-year-old Hollywood "It Girl" Kaitlin Burke is back in LA starring in a sitcom with her former-nemesis-now-BFF, Sky. The show is a huge success! In fact, maybe a little too huge, Kaitlin realizes, after a bad run-in with aggressive paparazzi that puts her boyfriend Austin in danger. Once again, she wishes that she could have a normal life. But what Kaitlin doesn''t realize is that her Hollywood life has had a positive influence on just about everyone she loves, and it takes a minor car accident and a nasty concussion to truly grasp how lucky she is. In Jen Calonita''s sixth and final Secrets of My Hollywood Life novel, Kaitlin learns at last about the price of fame, the unending upside of friendship, and that there really is no place like home - even if it''s Tinseltown.

Les plateaux d''Hollywood sont tellement dépassés. Cette fois, il est question de la scène. Secret d''Hollywood numéro treize : même si vous gagnez vingt millions de dollars pour un film, vous travaillerez pour trois fois rien en montant sur les planches. Les vedettes qui jouent au théâtre le font pour développer leur capacité d''acteur et d''actrice et pour le prestige d''avoir son nom dans un programme. Elles ne le font pas pour le salaire. La plupart des vedettes, même les plus grandes, sont chanceuses de repartir avec 3 000 $ par semaine. Une somme importante pour le reste du monde, mais pas pour ceux qui dépensent leurs revenus disponibles pour des valises Louis Vuitton.

Vous désirez connaître le degré de popularité d''une vedette ? Comptez le nombre de fois pendant un mois où elle remonte le tapis rouge. Plus la star est recherchée, moins elle s''y présente - à moins qu''elle n''ait un film ou un album à promouvoir. Lorsque la vedette est en tournée de publicité, impossible de dire ce qui va se passer - elle pourrait bien assister à quatre événements au cours d''une même semaine simplement pour s''extasier sur son incroyable nouveau projet. Alexis s''affiche partout en ville exactement pour cette raison. Cependant, si elle continue de remonter le tapis rouge chaque soir dans un mois, cela signifie que l''éclat de son étoile ne devient pas plus brillant. Les véritables stars au top du palmarès n''ont pas besoin de courir à une première ou de parler de leur brillant à lèvres favori. Elles savent que la vraie façon de rester dans les bonnes grâces du public consiste à s''assoir à la maison sur leurs sofas à 5000 dollars et de se rendre aussi illusoire que Johnny Depp.

On dirait l''été des rêves réalisés pour la princesse hollywoodienne Kaitlin Burke : les médias l''adorent (à nouveau), le très mignon et drôle Austin Meyers est enfin son petit ami et elle tient la vedette dans un film dirigé par son réalisateur favori de tous les temps, Hutch Adams. Qu''est-ce qui pourrait être mieux ? Mais la vie sur le plateau est loin d''atteindre la perfection du maquillage professionnel et des vêtements griffés. Et avec un ancien petit ami mielleux dans les parages et une nouvelle patronneinrigante au studio, les choses sont sur le point de devenir bien plus compliquées...

La meilleure amie de Sam Montgomery est amoureuse pour la première fois de sa vie. Mais Sam n''a pas du tout envie de passer l''été à écouter les deux tourtereaux roucouler. Lasse d''être la troisième roue du carrosse, Sam pose sa candidature pour être apprentie monitrice au camp de vacances nommé Les Pins chuchoteurs, et situé dans la région des Catskills de New York. Mais elle est loin de se douter que cela la conduira à relever d''autres défis que de chanter en choeur et de se gaver de barres choco-guimauve bien visqueuses. Si Ashley, la vedette du camp, ne lui gâche pas son été, peut-être bien que son béguin pour le beau Hunter aux cheveux blonds de surfeur y parviendra. Heureusement, elle peut compter sur Cole, un garçon enjoué qui ne cesse de la taquiner mais avec qui elle se sent si bien, et sur la curieuse bande de filles avec lesquelles elle se noue rapidement d''amitié - et qui se donnent pour nom les Belles du camp de vacances. Jen Calonita n''a jamais fait officiellement partie des Belles du camp de vacances, mais elle a été monitrice dans un camp de vacances près de chez elle, à Long Island. Elle y a occupé la fonction fort peu prestigieuse de monitrice à l''informatique. (C''était le seul poste qui n''était pas encore comblé et elle tenait absolument à travailler dans ce camp !) Elle jure toutefois que le jeu en valait la chandelle, ne serait-ce que pour avoir le plaisir de côtoyer les beaux moniteurs du camp.

When Sam''s best friend gets her first boyfriend, she''s not ready to spend the summer listening to the two of them call each other "pookie." Sick of being a third wheel, Sam applies to be a counselor-in-training at Whispering Pines camp in the New York Catskills. But what she doesn''t realize is that it''s not going to be all Kumbaya sing-alongs and gooey s''mores. If Ashley, the alpha queen of Whispering Pines, doesn''t ruin Sam''s summer, then her raging crush on the surfer-blond and flirtatious Hunter just might. At least she has playful Cole, who''s always teasing her, but is oh-so-comfortable to hang out with, and the singular gang of girls that become fast friends with Sam-they call themselves the Sleepaway Girls.

As the last season of Family Affair comes to a close, prime-time teen star Kaitlin Burke is no closer to deciding what she wants to do after the show ends. Struggling with career choices and bummed over a ridiculous catfight with her BFF, Liz, Kaitlin is so mixed up she even starts to semi-bond with her archnemesis, Sky. Worst of all, she falls in with two of Hollywood''s biggest party fiends when one of them asks her, "Don''t you ever do what you want to do?" Shopping sprees and the Tinseltown nightlife seem fun at first, but soon Kaitlin realizes that being a paparazzi princess just might be her downfall. You won''t want to miss the fourth book in Jen Calonita''s beloved six-book Secrets of My Hollywood Life series.

In the second book in Jen Calonita''s six-book Secrets of My Hollywood Life series, it seems like this is going to be the summer of dreams come true for Hollywood celebrity princess Kaitlin Burke. The media loves her (again), super-cute and funny Austin Meyers is finally her boyfriend, and she''s starring in a blockbuster movie by her all-time favorite director Hutch Adams. What could be sweeter? But life on set is not nearly as perfect as the designer makeup and couture costumes. And with a slimy ex-boyfriend and a scheming new publicist on the scene, it''s about to get a whole lot messier....

The filming for sure-to-be-blockbuster movie Pretty Young Assassins has wrapped, and teen movie star Kaitlin Burke returns to life on the set of primetime drama Family Affair. After ten seasons of filming the hit favorite TV show, Kaitlin would have thought that she could see any curveballs coming, but with a plotting new actress on set, all bets are off. The new diva, Alexis, makes even Kaitlin''s long-time nemesis Skye seem like a puppy in comparison. Can Kaitlin keep her sane boyfriend, her insane job, and her composure in the face of this new star power? The drama-filled third book in Jen Calonita''s fan-favorite six-book Secrets of My Hollywood Life series.
