SCANDAL ROCKS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL!
How well do you know your classmates?
Ever wonder how you would react if that geeky girl in Chemistry were really a spy? What if that gorgeous jock in Econ turned out to be a government trained assassin? Phoenix, AZ author, Celise Downs, gives you an idea in her book Undercover Love (1st Books Library ISBN:0-7596-4235-4; $9.50 U.S. paperback; $3.95 U.S. E-Book).
Set in the present-day town of Phoenix, AZ, Skylar Knight is a junior in high school who is making her way through the final week of school. The subject on everyones minds is Blair Neumans Juniors Only End of the Year Bash...and The Kissing Game. Skylar knows that her crush, Kedren Price, will be there but she has one little problem: nonexistent pucker power. In between studying for finals, and learning how to kiss, she starts overhearing mysterious conversations about Blair and Kedren. And Skylar begins to wonder if her classmates are friends...or foes.
I wrote Undercover Love because I wanted to give some of my high school memories a what-if twist. One of my favorite shows at the time was 21 Jump Street starring Johnny Depp. The premise was twenty-something cops infiltrating high schools to catch the bad guys. I thought, what if it was the other way around? What if it was an ordinary teenager, with a little 'training, catching the bad guys?" Downs says. And the rest is history."
Undercover Love is ...pretty authentic, since that is how I would have felt had I been a peer of these kids. Its a premise that gives her characters an important obstacle and an interesting way of dealing with it. I found the subject matter and the minor details about music, fashion, and appearances, was very appropriate for the intended audience."
This book is available through all major bookstores. It can also be purchased through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and 1stbooks.com.
