New Releases by Sarah Strohmeyer

Bubbles Yablonsky knows there is more to life than doing hair in Lehigh, Pennsylvania. She goes back to school, enters journalism classes and gets a job at a local newspaper for on-the-job training. When Bubbles stumbles upon a crime scene on the way home from an assignment, she''s suddenly up to her roots in a nasty murder investigation. This title is the debut novel in a new mystery series.

In this play guide spoof, Barbie is liberated from her pink plastic world of fashion modeling and Corvette driving to assume roles that "real" women have endured for years. Here readers will find Safe-Sex Barbie, Barbie Antoinette, Anita Hill Barbie, Marie Curie Barbie, and, in honor of her upcoming 40th anniversary, Hot Flash Barbie who comes complete with tiny estrogen supplements. 40 photos.
