An encounter with the stars of a pirate-themed reality-TV show highlights their vulnerability. (“From Ladybird Hope’s I’m Perfect and You Can Be Too, Chapter Three: ‘A lady’s quick thinking can save a bad situation.’ She was talking about putting nail polish on a runner in your hose, but I think the same rule applies here.”) Unfortunately, their sponsor decides there is better press in avenging their deaths than in mounting a rescue and sets that scenario in motion. The plane carrying the 50 Miss Teen Dream Pageant contestants crashes on a remote desert island, and the survivors must channel the skills that made them successful on runways to keep themselves alive until they can be rescued. Printz Award–winning author Bray ( Going Bovine, 2009) plunges into cultural criticism with her latest teen novel. This inventive satire mocks celebrity culture while celebrating the resilience of teen girls.
