Project Runway and Gossip Girl, but make it middle school-friendly! Macky is an inspiring main character, proving that confidence and creativity can overcome any challenge. The descriptions of her designs are so fun, you’ll wish they were real (I know I do!).

If you love stories about following your passion, standing up for yourself, and, of course, fashion, The Fashion Academy is a must-read. It’s cute, colorful, and totally couture!

While wandering at BEA, I saw many MG books that looked cute, so I picked them up, even though I don’t normally read MG. Well, I’m actually glad that I picked up Fashion Academy. I read it after being in a reading slump, and it was just what I needed to start reading again! It was a light, quick read that caused me to smile and laugh.
