Synopsis

Hilarious tween heroine Charlie C. Cooper-reformed bully, misguided fashionista, and so-called middle child-is back! This sequel to Confessions of a So-called Middle Child will delight fans of Louise Rennison, Mean Girls, and Harriet the Spy. Charlie's adventures offer a fresh look at middle school, bullying, and mean girls. In Book Two, Charlie navigates sudden celebrity and auditions for a television series, but a little white lie may endanger the one friendship Charlie can truly count on-and her connection to swoonworthy crush Bobby! Poignant and seriously funny, Charlie's account of her dilemma is one all tweens will relate to. Charlie knows what it feels like to be stuck in the middle, but it's finally her time to shine. After saving her friend Marta in the old Houdini tunnels of Los Angeles, Charlie's become a local hero, gained sudden celebrity, and *MIGHT* just become a TV star! But will Charlie let her newfound fame go to her head? Watch out, Hollywood!

About this title

Review:

“A funny story with a fresh and sassy, winning heroine.” (School Library Journal)

From the Back Cover:

Watch out, Hollywood—Charlie C. Cooper is set to become a star!

Yes, people, I am finally where I want to be. No more stuck-in-the-middle stuff. I've done all my good deeds, and it's finally my turn to shine. Let me recap:

Trixie is long gone.

I have my very own agent.

Hollywood is begging me to sign a deal for a huge TV series.

Bobby digs me. Big-time.

I'm a real-live celebrity now. Cameras are lined up outside the front of my house, aka the Houdini Mansion. CNN is calling my name. I even get to skip school.

I step into my signature outfit: electric blue Doc Martens, fishnet tights, black tutu, and, of course, my Guns N' Roses vintage sweatshirt. I tease the hair and stick as many sequin barrettes in as I can.

Bingo. A star is about to be born.

I open the front door.

They snap my picture. "LA Times. Over here, Charlie!"

"People magazine," someone yells. "Can you tell our readers what it feels like to be a hero?"

"A hero?" First time I've heard that one.
