Product Description
Charlotte Ramsey is the new girl again. After causing the biggest cafeteria blunder in history, Charlotte's assigned lunch partners-the very stylish Katani, irrepressible Avery, and super-friendly Maeve-can't wait to dump her. Can it get any worse? Absolutely! Nobody is talking, and Katani wants out of the group. What a mess! Can the girls become true friends or will they remain worst enemies forever?
About The Author
Ever since she can remember, Annie has dreamed of being a writer. She loves stories, especially stories about girls. She grew up in Michigan and moved to Boston when she was 19. All through her twenties, she lived in Boston and got to know all the places that she writes about in the Beacon Street Girls book series. She loves Harvard Square (in Cambridge) and Coolidge Corner (in Brookline). She really loves cafes and bookstores, like the one that Charlotte goes to. She likes to take long walks in the Public Garden right near where Charlotte lived as a babyShe loves the swan boats, the trolley, and she still likes to jog on Beacon Street, right past Summit Avenue!
Nowadays, Annie lives up in Vermont in a farmhouse that was built in 1839. ItÂ’s got sloping floors, a big potbellied stove, and a tower room, just like the one where Charlotte, Maeve, Katani, Avery and Isabel hang out together! That "tower room" is her own inspiration-only instead of looking out at a city sky, she looks across the fields at an old red barn, the cows grazing in the meadow, and the wonderful stars at night. Like Charlotte, she truly feels that stars and books are her best friends.
