Description

Like Meg Cabot, Sarah Strohmeyer has a gift for creating smart, funny girls teen readers love. She’s done it again with Zoe, heroine of her latest romcom.

In YA novel How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True, Zoe learns there is a dark core under the glittering façade of the fairy-tale themed amusement park (cough, Disneyland, cough) where she’s a summer intern. For starters, her boss has a blacker heart than Snow White’s stepmother, and the other interns are worse backstabbers than Cinderella’s step-sisters.

On the upside, she has the chance of romance with a real-life Prince Charming, and a shot at winning a big heap of cash. If she can just live through a summer in the Fairyland Kingdom.

Workplace Romance: Zoe's summer job at a fairy-tale theme park gets complicated when she falls for a real-life Prince Charming—who might be one of the backstabbing rivals she's supposed to beat.
The Evil Boss: Forget Snow White's stepmother, Zoe's boss is the new queen of mean. Surviving the internship means anticipating her every crazy whim without getting fired.
Witty Banter: Filled with the smart, laugh-out-loud humor and sarcastic dialogue that fans of Meg Cabot adore.
High-Stakes Competition: It's intern vs. intern for a huge cash prize. Zoe has to navigate friendships and frenemies to win the money that could change her life.
