New Book Display: Love Stinks

Check out this new display in the Teens & Tweens Space:

Love Stinks ... or is confusing, at the very least

Barkley, Brad & Hepley, Heather
Dream Factory: Disney World is supposedly the "happiest place on Earth,"but as Luke and Ella soon find out, it is anything but. Hired for the summer to replace striking Disney cast members, Ella as Cinderella and Luke as Dale (as in Chip and Dale), the two teenagers grow tired of the Disney fantasy and find themselves connecting with each other. But Chip is played by Cassie, Luke's current girlfriend, and Prince Charming is Mark, a cute and forgettable Disney devotee. Will Luke be able to see beyond Cassie's blonde and beautiful perfection? Will Ella be able to tell Luke what's really going on in her life?

Kenny's a great guy, fun to talk to, etc., but there's one catch - Mia doesn't like him. In fact, she's very much in love with someone else. What's a princess to do?
