Book Synopsis

In her seventh adventure, the irrepressible Anastasia decides that she needs more poise and confidence--especially since her chosen career is to be a bookstore owner. A flyer on her father's windshield convinces her that charm school at Studio Charmante will teach her just that. But a week in modeling school may be just what Anastasia needs to realize that, just maybe, she already has what it takes.
