Luckily for the teenage DyanSheldon, a new girl moved to town who was as flamboyantly outgoing as the author was shy--and as opposites often attract, the two became best friends.
Intriguingly, DyanSheldon followed up CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN with MY PERFECT LIFE, a sequel that puts Ella (the character the author most identifies with) in the narrator's role and gives her "a chance to speak for herself." Like its predecessor, MY PERFECT LIFE was quickly hailed by critics.
DyanSheldon's third book with Candlewick Press, PLANET JANET, introduces a new set of characters, starring a self-absorbed British teen who shares her travails in a hilarious diary format that has been likened to a BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY for the teenage set.
