Flower Power

What do Katie-Rose, Yasaman, Milla, and Violet have in common? Other than being named after flowers, practically nothing. Katie-Rose is a film director in training. Yasaman is a computer whiz. Milla is third in command of the A list. And Violet is the new girl in school. They're fab girls, all of them, but they sure aren't friends. And if evil queen bee Medusa-'scuse me, Modessa-has her way, they never will be. But this is the beginning of a new school year, when anything can happen and social worlds can collide . . . Told in Lauren Myracle's inventive narrative style-here a fresh mix of instant messages, blog posts, screenplay, and straight narrative-Luv Ya Bunches has been called "enticing" by Publishers Weekly and received a starred review from Booklist, which called it "a fun, challenging, and gently edifying story."

Katie-Rose, Violet, Milla, and Yasaman-four girls with seemingly little in common but their flower names-are nurturing their new friendship and are busy building luvyabunches.com, their very own social-networking site. Their first flower-power task? A doomed campaign to get their school to serve healthier snacks. The Jelly-Yums they champion-soon dubbed "beans of grossness"-taste like candied beets. And that's just the start of their troubles. A scheming classmate tries to drive a wedge between Katie-Rose and Yasaman, Violet may have been slammed in a secret journal, and poor Milla unintentionally commits hamstercide. It will take all the strength and genuine affection of these pals to weather a particularly stormy week of fifth grade. Bestselling author Lauren Myracle brings her understanding of the weight of fifth-grade dramas to another hilarious and memorable book that preteens will love!

The Flower Power books follow the funny fifth-grade adventures of four girls with little in common but their flower names who, nevertheless, blossom into the greatest of friends. Life for the Flower Power girls is never boring. With Milla still madly in crush with sweet Max, Katie-Rose is left wondering why everyone doesn't find fifth-grade boys as disgusting as she does. Especially pesky, annoying Preston, whose new favorite pastime is throwing erasers at Katie-Rose's head and who always seems to be around at Katie-Rose's most embarrassing moments. Yasaman isn't quite ready for a boyfriend either, but she does have a brilliant matchmaking plan for two of her favorite people, and she recruits the other girls to join. The targets: beloved teachers Mr. Emerson and Ms. Perez, who are meant for each other, even if they don't know it. The goal: to bring those lovebirds together at their school's "Lock-In," a teacher-chaperoned evening of fun, fabulosity, and possibly even romance. The trouble? Ms. Perez isn't planning on coming. And when the fourth flower friend, Violet, mysteriously pulls out, too, it seems as if the Lock-In will be no fun at all. But these flowers don't wilt so easily . . . Praise for Oopsy Daisy: A Flower Power Book "Myracle proves, once again, that she has her finger firmly on the pulse of tween girldom." – Booklist "Myracle perfectly captures the nuances of fifth-grade life. Readers will certainly relate to the girls' struggles to grow up but not leave childhood behind just yet. Milla, Violet, Yaz and Katie-Rose continue to charm; here's hoping they have more hijinks in store." – Kirkus Reviews |Lauren Myracle is the New York Times bestselling author of the Internet Girls trilogy-ttyl, ttfn, and l8r, g8r-as well as Rhymes with Witches, Bliss, and the new Flower Powerseries, among many other books for teens and young adults.

The Flower Power books follow the funny fifth-grade adventures of four girls with little in common but their flower names who, nevertheless, blossom into the greatest of friends. Katie-Rose, Milla, Yasaman, and Violet have confronted their share of challenges in fifth grade: a dead hamster, turtle theft, trapeze lessons, and pesky boys, just to name a few. Nothing can stop these four fabulous friends. Well, nothing except for their archnemesis, the evil Modessa (a.k.a. "Medusa"). Somehow, Modessa has recruited one of the sweetest girls in the class to be her new sidekick. The flower friends are determined to save Elena, even if it means braving Modessa's wrath. But it will also mean getting Katie-Rose to focus-she's a bit too busy NOT flirting with cute-but-annoying Preston. And then there's Yasaman's little sister's birthday "bubblegum" party, which the four friends promised to organize . . . if it's possible to call anything involving 30 kindergartners organized. Luckily, Violet is back to herself and ready to lead the Flowers to their most glorious triumph.
