INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Birchall, Katy

The It Girl

(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Londoner Anna just wants to fly under the middle-school social radar, but when her dad proposes to famous actress Helena Montaine, that plan is shot. Suddenly the whole world (including the paparazzi) wants a piece of her, and the quirky wallflower navigates the attention comically and endearingly. Birchall's debut is a breezy read with some worthy but rather unsubtle messages.
