Overview
You can make a geek a model, but you can't make her chic. More hilarity and high fashion await in the second book in the internationally bestselling Geek Girl series, perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Julie Buxbaum! Harriet Manners is a model--but she feels even less popular and more awkward than she did when she was just a geek. So a summer modeling job in Japan sounds like the perfect vacation, even if she has to bring along her crazy grandma Bunty, and even if she might run into Nick, her gorgeous supermodel ex-boyfriend. No one is going to ruin Harriet's fabulous Tokyo adventure--unless she accidentally ruins it herself. . . . Second Chance Romance: She might be over Nick, her supermodel ex-boyfriend. But when he shows up in Tokyo, Harriet's perfectly planned summer takes a turn she never expected. Travel Adventure: From fish markets to photo shoots, Harriet explores the incredible, overwhelming city of Tokyo--with her eccentric grandmother Bunty as her only guide. Funny Books for Teens: Laugh-out-loud moments abound as Harriet navigates high fashion, cultural differences, and her own talent for turning any situation into an awkward disaster. Coming of Age: A geek in the chic world of modeling, Harriet has to figure out who she is and what she wants, especially when she's the one most likely to sabotage her own success.

Author Information
Holly Smale was unexpectedly spotted by a top London modeling agency at the age of fifteen and spent the following two years falling over on catwalks, going bright red, and breaking things she couldn't afford to replace. By the time she had graduated from Bristol University with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Shakespeare, she had given up modeling and set herself on the path to becoming a full-time writer. Geek Girl was the #1 bestselling young adult fiction title in the UK in 2013. It was shortlisted for several major awards, including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Holly currently lives in London, England.
