As some of you may know, before I wrote
The Immortals series
and the
Riley Bloom series, I wrote
seven stand alone novels (six for teens - one for adults)--and so I'm excited to announce that my publisher,
St. Martin's Press, is repackaging those novels--two of which will hit stores in February!!
Repacking is basically like a make-over for books. They get a shiny, new. updated cover though the story inside stays the same--and I love, love, love what they've done with mine!
FAKING 19
is my debut novel and the first book I ever wrote. And though the main character, Alex, is fictional, she goes through a lot of the same things I did in high school, which makes her really dear to me, so I'm especially excited about this one!
Here's what people said:
"Noël's debut novel is realistic and convincing. Alex and M are fresh and endearing, and anything but superficial. First-person narration and situations dealing with sex, drugs, and alcohol make this a compelling look at one teen's broken life and how she fixes it. Readers will relate to both characters and their lives." —
School Library Journal
"...Alyson Noël still manages to create characters that I can identify with. Underneath the glamorous exterior, Alex is just another girl struggling to get through her high school years. Along the way, she learns an invaluable rule of life: Success is a gift that you give to yourself. 5 Stars." —TeensReadToo
