Runway Rose (#9 of The English Roses)

Runway Rose, #9 of The English Roses (2009) by Madonna. 124 pages.
ISBN: 978-0-14-241126-1

The English Roses are "the coolest, hippest, most rockin'" 11 year old girls living a privileged life. They have sleepovers, have butlers and get chauffered to school. Most importantly, they are good friends and cheer for each other.

This episode in the Roses' lives finds Grace being an amazing soccer player and Amy getting a job working at a Teen Fashion Week. Preparing for the fashion show is hectic and exciting.

Expressive and silly pencil drawings enhance the story. A couple incidences of instant messaging text is fun to read. Fun book for 9 to 11 year olds.

I spotted a short blurb in the Style section of the Sunday, June 27, 2010 San Francisco Chronicle. It mentioned a new clothing line by Madonna, inspired by her 13year old daughter Lourdes, "Lola". Click (here) for the People Magazine's Sneak Peak: "Madonna and Lourdes' Material Girl Line for Macy's".

I'll be curious if this line becomes popular with the tween set.
