Marni Bates - Author
A sharp-edged, high-stakes adventure about a socially powerful girl forced beyond familiar rules. Its appeal appears to lie in reversals of status, international danger and friction with people she initially dismisses.
I take no prisoners. I am Chelsea Halloway and I will happily destroy your social life if you mess with me. Just ask anyone. There is no situation I cannot handle. Divorcing parents? No problem. An ex-boyfriend who wants to date Smith High Schools biggest geek instead of me? Just a matter of time before I can make him see reason. At least, until my parents decide to ship me off on a study abroad trip to Cambodia. Now instead of being admired as the queen of the Notables, I am stuck with a bunch of college students who do not take me seriously, and a professor who accidentally landed himself on the wrong side of a drug lord. And it is up to me to get us all out of the country alive even the annoying jerk with the green eyes who will not stop calling me princess. Oh yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
