Young readers may recall the plight of Mimi Schulman, teen heroine of The Rise and Fall of a 10th-Grade Social Climber, who gets shipped from Houston to New York when her parents divorce. Surrounded by snobby, rich floozies at her new private school, she struggles to conceal her — gasp— Texan-ness.
Authors Laura Moser (native Houstonian) and Lauren Mechling (you guessed it — native New Yorker) have just released the second installment, All Q, No A: More Tales of a 10th-Grade Social Climber, in which Mimi once again finds herself at odds with New York and its trendy wiles. As she's working on a story for her school's paper, she gets sucked into the dastardly scene of NYC art galleries, VIP clubs and mandatory designer apparel. Meet the authors and discuss venomous editors, whether cowboy boots are still in and, of course, the pursuit of hot guys.
