ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Melody Carlson has written more than 200 books for teens, women, and children.

Her wide variety of books seem to prove this theory.

AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:
Here's my review of this amazing teen read:
First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Melody Carlson and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Catwalk" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.
Melody Carlson’s “Catwalk” is Book #2 in her “On The Runway” series. Paige and Erin Forrester are back in the spotlight riding on the success of their television show, On The Runway. Their achievement leads them to New York City during Fashion Week. Their goals for the trip are very different – one sister led by professional ambition, the other by helping to promote an earth-friendly cause.
This highly dramatic teen fiction read opens the door to the less-than-fashionable side of New York. Melody Carlson captures her audience, regardless of age, with her deep expressiveness, realistic dialogue and engaging situations. She brings her characters to such life that you want them for your own friends – even when you disagree with them. I can’t wait to go back and read book 1 in the series, but book 2 is a solid standalone read.
