O ovoj e-knjizi

For Carmen, though, the pressure is the highest. She has always known that she wants to go to a premier fashion and design school. But those cost money. And that means she needs a scholarship. So when a teacher advises her to help out the Sobees -- Coral Gables resident "mean girls" -- with the big school dance, she has no choice. Unfortunately, she also has to help Amigas Inc. plan a double quince for two cousins who are determined to one up each other! As the drama unfolds, Carmen will have to figure out who she is and what she wants. And will pushing herself double-time leave her with nothing left to give?
