Happy birthday to Tyra Banks! Besides being world famous as a model and for her TV show, Tyra Banks has also written a young adult novel:
Modelland by Tyra Banks: No one gets in without being asked. And with her untamable hair, large
forehead, and gawky body, Tookie De La Crème isn't expecting an
invitation. Modelland--the exclusive, mysterious place on top of the
mountain--never dares to make an appearance in her dreams. But someone
has plans for Tookie. Before she can blink her mismatched eyes, Tookie
finds herself in the very place every girl in the world obsesses about.
And three unlikely girls have joined her. Only seven extraordinary young
women become Intoxibellas each year. Famous. Worshipped. Magical. What
happens to those who don't make it? Well, no one really speaks of that.
Some things are better left unsaid. Thrown into a world where she
doesn't seem to belong, Tookie glimpses a future that could be hers--if
she survives the beastly Catwalk Corridor and terrifying Thigh-High Boot
Camp. Along the way, she learns all about friendship, courage, laughter
and what it feels like to start to believe in yourself.
