Have you ever seen her? The girl whose face you'd never in a million--no trillion--years describe as beautiful? The girl whose eyes are too wide, hair too wild, head too enormous to ever be noticed? Well, she's been chosen for something girls only dream of . . . to be a part of Modelland . . . a place where dreams come true and life can change in the blink of a smoky eye. . . .Inspired by Tyra's real-life experiences and her creative imagination, the story centers on an awkward teen girl who gets selected to attend the exclusive Modelland academy, where magical Intoxibellas, the world's best models, are trained. A spot at the academy is woefully out of reach for most girls, so why has quirky Tookie De La Crème, of all people, been selected?
When 13-year-old Tookie De La Crème is ushered into the rarified air of Modelland to compete for a spot as an Intoxibella, she can't believe her luck. Her crazy hair, freakishly big forehead, and awkward body in no way mark her as having model potential. And a handful of other equally odd girls have joined her, causing them all to wonder if there's a dark side to the famed place all girls want to end up. Preposterous names, cat fights on the catwalk, Thigh-High Boot Camp, and larger than life characters populate former supermodel and television personality Tyra Banks's first book in the young adult Modelland series.
