In this latest novel by the author of Sweet Treats & Secret Crushes, an eager new girl and the most popular girl in school are assigned to make a video--which ends up uncovering some unexpected secrets about the school.

Reel Life Starring Us is a frank, yet funny story about the ups and downs of conquering cliques.  This new novel is set at Rockwood Hills Junior High,a place known for the close-knit cliques that rule the school. Take two girls from different cliques. Add a dash of drama when they are assigned to work together on a school video. Sprinkle in some unexpected friendships and freakouts along the way. This might sound like the makings of an epic disaster movie, but things couldn't be more real.  When arty new girl Dina gets the opportunity to do a video project with queen bee Chelsea, she thinks this is her ticket to a great new social life. But Chelsea has bigger problems than Dina can imagine: her father has lost his job, and her family is teetering on the brink. Without knowing it, Dina might just get caught in Chelsea's free fall.  

Filled with amusing, but honest truths about the perception of cool, Reel Life Starring Usoffers readers the chance to discuss what it means to be popular, the fears of making and shaking up friendships, and the importance of being true to yourself no matter what. Using the bubbly, infectious voice Lisa Greenwald mastered in her breakout, My Life in Pink & Green, this book is sure to charm tween readers everywhere.
