Beacon Street Girls Book Sparks ''Fashion Frenzy'' for Preteens

Posted on: Tuesday, 5 September 2006, 18:00 CDT

Girls everywhere are invited to be part of a "real, live fashion show" in the latest book from the award-winning Beacon Street Girls book series (http://www.beaconstreetgirls.com/books) about the adventures of five seventh-grade friends.

The new book, Fashion Frenzy, takes the BSG to New York City where a dream-come-true starts to look more like a nightmare. Back home, a trip to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts takes a turn for the creepy! Which is scarier - a classmate "cling-on" or an Egyptian mummy?

"Shows like Bravo's 'Project Runway,' that offer a behind-the-scenes look at the world of fashion, have been enormously popular with this audience," said Addie Swartz, founder and CEO of B*tween Productions and mother of two daughters. "Fashion Frenzy provides girls with a chance to see what happens when one of their friends gets the opportunity to explore a career in fashion."

Girls love the characters who are "just like me" and enjoy the fun and friendship-focused adventures. The Beacon Street Girls characters provide someone for every girl to relate to. Worldly but klutzy Charlotte, an aspiring writer, has lived all over the globe with her travel writer dad. Confident Katani is the entrepreneur of the group. Passionate, exuberant Maeve wants to be an entertainer but she has yet to choose between music, dance or the theater. High energy and highly competitive Avery loves sports, animals and her thoughts for the future focus on a career in politics or the law. Insightful Isabel is a creative powerhouse, drawing, painting and even creating the cartoons for the books.

Fashion Frenzy (B*tween Productions, Inc. ISBN 1-933566-02-7, $7.99), is immediately available in bookstores everywhere.
