FIVE DAYS OF FAMOUS in stores next week!

Hey Everyone!

After all the waiting I can hardly believe that my new MG, FIVE DAYS of FAMOUS, will be in stores next week on 12.13.16! 

FIVE DAYS of FAMOUS takes place over the Christmas season, and I happen to think it will make the perfect holiday gift for both the young and young at heart!

Here's a brief synopsis:

What would you do if your dream life became reality? 

A dream is a wish your heart makes . . . when your life is in desperate need of a makeover. Nick Dashaway would know; he meets the criteria. His mom is Christmas obsessed, his best friends, Plum and Dougall, are happy to sit at the geek table, and the love of his life, Tinsley Barnes, doesn't even know he exists. Either Nick makes it big this year in seventh grade, or he risks being an invisible nobody forever.

Enter the Greentree Middle School Talent Show, hosted by teen sensation Josh Frost, and Nick has found his ticket out of loserville into top-tier popularity--if the wins. With all the practicing he's been doing, Nick knows he's a shoo-in.

When everything doesn't go according to plan, Nick is ready to do just about anything for a first place finish...and he does. He makes a wish.

Be careful what you wish for, the old saying goes—and Nick's about to find out why.

The reviews for FIVE DAYS have been great- here's a peek at a few:


Booklist:

"Noël has crafted a quick, compelling, energetic modern-day fairy tale for every tween who has ever wished for fame. In the delightful vein of Freaky Friday, there is a lesson here about satisfaction and gratitude, but it runs second to a charming, funny, often surprising, and very current Cinder-fella story. This is a Hollywood blockbuster waiting to happen."

Kirkus:

"Noël writes this Christmas comedy with lots of zing and bubbling humor. . . An amusing Christmas story for preteens."

School Library Journal:

"Told in an easygoing, conversational style, the text is appealing and chock-full of humor. VERDICT A unique twist on the typical holiday story, perfect for readers wondering what their dream life would be like." 

Publishers Weekly:

"Readers will enjoy getting an imaginary backstage pass to Nick’s indulgent new world, and his mix of swagger and uncertainty make him an entertaining narrator ... The giltz and glamour of Nick’s wish lets readers contemplate the current state of celebrity while helping camouflage the message that the grass isn’t always greener, even when it comes with a mansion and chauffeur."- Publisher's Weekly

FIVE DAYS OF FAMOUS is available wherever books are sold, and it's also ready for pre-order at your favorite online retailer. Buy links are available HERE!
