Ginger Rue’s brand-new book, Brand-New Emily, is a whole lot deeper than it looks (hey – didn’t your mom always tell you not to judge a book by its cover?!).
Author: Ginger Rue
Ages: 12 and up
It may have a lime-green cover and hot-pink letters forming the title, but Ginger Rue’s brand-new book is about Emily, a girl who is picked on at her new school because of unfortunate experiences in her first few days there. So it’s pretty much her luckiest break in a while when she gets the chance to meet a teen heartthrob at a movie shoot and starts using the services of his own personal PR manager for her own purposes.
There are a lot of subplots going on at the same time that Emily is trying to reinvent herself – her mom has ed away, her uncle and father are struggling to care for her and school life is constantly changing around her.
A really interesting thing about this book hoping to read some inside scoop on your real-life fave celeb, forget about it. The characters are all made up.

Emily is a great character, and a pretty good representation of an average tween/almost-teen girl. You may learn a thing or two about the way girls in junior high think and act – very eye-opening stuff!
