Award Winning Books

Margaux is beautiful and popular, with the most fashionable clothes and her own red Mustang. Every guy in town wants to date her. Despite living almost every teenager's dream, she is miserable. Her father is a professional gambler, and her emotionally oblivious mother spends her days watching the shopping channel. Powered by her sarcasm and intellectual wit, the teen keeps everyone at bay until she meets Danny, a lanky, poorly dressed school outcast who unwittingly charms her with his own intellect and politeness. It is Danny who gives Margaux the courage to escape her parents and her former shallow self.
