Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
Published- May 2011
400 Pages
Summary from Goodreads
From bestselling, Printz Award-winning author Libba Bray,
the story of a plane of beauty pageant contestants that crashes on a desert island.
Teen beauty queens. A "Lost"-like island. Mysteries and dangers. No access to email. And the spirit of fierce, feral competition that lives underground in girls, a savage brutality that can only be revealed by a journey into the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Oh, the horror, the horror! Only funnier.
With evening gowns. And a body count
Libba Bray is brilliant. I have loved everything I have read by her, and I can not wait to read this one.

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of The Lord of the Flies of course, but what beauty pageant book can I say it got crossed with to make this one? =P
This looks so good! I absolutely loved The Gemma Doyle trilogy, still need to read Going Bovine though. Good WoW pick!
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you! http://cheezyfeetbooks.blogspot.com/2011/02/one-lovely-blog-award.html
I'm looking forward to this one too. It's more along the lines of Going Bovine and she's so funny she can totally pull it off. Great choice!
