Book Description
New York Times Bestseller A breakout teen author explores the true meaning of popularity and how to survive middle school in this hysterically funny, touchingly honest contemporary memoir. “I was inspired by [Maya's] journey and made a point of saving a copy of ‘Popular’ for my sister, who starts middle school this fall. Maybe if I had read it when I was her age, it could have saved me from a world of hurt, or at least put that world in perspective.” —Maude Apatow, New York Times Book Review Can curlers, girdles, Vaseline, and a strand of pearls help a shy girl become popular? Maya Van Wagenen is about to find out. Stuck near the bottom of the social ladder at “pretty much the lowest level of people at school who aren’t paid to be here,” Maya has never been popular. But before starting eighth grade, she decides to begin a unique social experiment: spend the school year following a 1950s popularity guide, written by former teen model Betty Cornell. The real-life results are hilarious, painful, and filled with unexpected surprises. Told with humor and grace, Maya’s journey offers readers of all ages a thoroughly contemporary example of kindness and self-confidence, along with a better understanding of what it means to be popular.

Book Description
Melanie Newton might have taken a shortcut to the grave, but she took to her second life with an ease that surprised everyone. Everything in her life seems to have finally slotted into place—well, apart from a certain stubborn-as-hell, sexy-as-sin warlock. The most frustrating part is she knows he feels the same, but all the obstacles keep their fire at a frustrating simmer. So far, Melanie doesn’t know how to light things up for good. Ricky Moore hasn’t had a good few months. He’s struggling with his feelings about his growing power, battling addiction, and learning he has a five-year-old kid—all of which really messes with a guy’s head. Fresh from rehab, Ricky is certain, more now than ever before, that Lanie is the one for him. This time, he’s finally ready to play for keeps—if she’ll have him. When Melanie and Ricky are sent undercover to find out who’s responsible for the drug wreaking havoc on the supernatural community—the same drug that turned Ricky into an addict—Melanie comes face to face with someone from her past who threatens to destroy everything. The lines between what’s real and what’s for the job are about to be blurred into obscurity, but neither of them seems to care. The spark they shared has always been combustible, but now it seems unstoppable. In the end, will true love be enough to save them or is someone destined to get burned? SHORTCUT TO THE GRAVE is the sixth novel in the best-selling EVER CHACE CHRONICLES.
