I never wear pink, but I am an avid reader (but not yet a re-reader) of the Princess Diaries, and rush out and spend FOL money (not my own) on each new book. And I've quite enjoyed her other girl type books (especially All American Girl).
So I was pleased-ish to see the following press release from Scholastic:
"Meg Cabot, who took the publishing world by storm with her phenomenally successful Princess Diaries books, heads off in a dazzling new direction with the launch of three brand-new series. As part of its "Meg Cabot Girl-World Domination" campaign, Scholastic will publish Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls, a smart, funny series for readers ages 8-12 launching in spring 2008. In addition to the Allie Finkle books, two new trilogies for teens, Airhead and Abandon, will be published in 2008 and 2009. Airhead is daring, highly entertaining and a new direction for Meg Cabot, and Abandon is a dramatic modern retelling of the myth of Persephone."
I feel a tad nervous about the last one...daring indeed. And female though I am, I do not actually want to live in a girl-world. Some of my best friends, as it were, in books are boys....
