Mary Elizabeth (or Lola, as she prefers to be called) longs to be in the spotlight. But when she moves to New Jersey with her family, Lola discovers that the role of resident drama queen at Dellwood “Deadwood” High has already been filled – by the Born-to-Win, Born-to-Run-Everything Carla Santini. Once the curtain goes up on the school play, which drama queen will take centre stage?
“Lola will rightfully take her place among the unforgettable and lively female characters of young adult novels. Like its heroine, the story is off-beat, outrageous and utterly charming.” School Library Journal
“High school has always been this stressful, but rarely this hilarious.” Booklist
“Delicious reading… Home-grown drama queens and teen shrinking violets will love it.” Kids Out
