![]() The girls are forced to leave their glamorous pageant life behind, and face the reality of living in the wilderness. When a plane full of teenage beauty queens crash lands on a deserted island, the young women find themselves in a situation that no Miss Teen Dream has ever faced before: a simple struggle for survival. Author Libba Bray, a Printz award-winner, addresses corporate abuse of power, the culture of fear that is perpetuated through advertising, and restrictive gender binaries in this engaging book. Don’t be misled by the bikini-clad model on the cover of Beauty Queens (Scholastic Press) this is decidedly not a simple hot-girls-on-an-island story. ![]()
