The lady at Penguin saw my 13yo, The Amazing Dancer, and then presented her with THREE must reads!

  3. Wow. Huge week! Front & Center looks so amazing, so I'm definitely jealous about that. And the cover for Eyes Like Stars is so gorgeous...too bad the ARC that I have doesn't include the awesomeness!
