Being Nikki (Airhead Series #2) by Meg Cabot

Product Details

Synopsis

Things aren't pretty for Emerson Watts.

Em was sure there couldn't be anything worse than being a brainiac the body of a teenaged supermodel.

But it turned out she was wrong. Because that supermodel could turn out to have a mother who's gone mysteriously missing, a brother who's shown up on her doorstep demanding answers, a former best friend who's intent on destroying Stark Enterprises to avenge the death of his lost love, and a British heartthrob who's written a song about her that's topping the charts.

How can Em balance all that with school, runway shows, and weekend jaunts to St. Johns - especially when she's got ex-boyfriends crawling out of the woodwork who want more than just a photo op; a sister who is headed to the high school cheerleading championships; a company she represents that seems to be turning to the dark side...

Not to mention trying to convince the love of her life that models aren't really airheads after all...especially one model in particular.

But then, nobody said it was going to be easy being Nikki.

Children's Literature

For my 13th birthday, my grandfather selected a couple of books "suitable for a girl" as his present to me. I opened the neatly wrapped package to find two fictional confections about as far from anything I would read as could be imagined. I flipped through them out of a sense of loyalty, but they sat largely unread on my bookshelf for years—a reminder of my much-loved and well-intentioned but off-the-mark grandfather. This book struck me immediately as being a more contemporary version of those novels. Perhaps the declaration "An Airhead novel" splashed across the bottom keyed me in to the similarity. Maybe it was the picture of a shallow-looking girl and her froo-froo dog on the front—and back—cover. But Meg Cabot's heroines are nothing if not determined and embellished with exotic circumstances. Here, the heroine is Emerson Watts. Marketed as supermodel Nikki, she is under the control of Stark Enterprises, until things start going wrong. Her mother disappears mysteriously, her brother seeks her out for answers, and her best friend is gunning for Stark. Readers interested in this series might better start with the first "Airhead" novel. Reviewer: Heidi Hauser Green
