When her second novel, FISHBOWL, received even more accolades, including a starred review from Booklist and being named one of Waldenbooks Best Women's Fiction novels of 2002, Sarah moved to New York City to write full-time. Since then, Sarah has written AS SEEN ON TV and MONKEY BUSINESS for Red Dress Ink and BRAS & BROOMSTICKS, her first teen novel, for Random House. She has been featured in the short story collections, AMERICAN GIRLS ABOUT TOWN and SIXTEEN: STORIES ABOUT THAT SWEET AND BITTER BIRTHDAY. Sarah also co-edited the USA Today bestselling chick-lit anthology GIRLS' NIGHT IN.

SOMETIME AROUND MY JUNIOR year in college, a year when I was particularly earnest in my desire to know the meaning of life, and a year when I had just enough education behind me so as to inform and direct but not yet temper or tamp my zeal, it occurred to me that rather than spend my time trying to find the answers, it might be more worthwhile, or at least worth the change in scenery, to focus on the questions themselves.

21 Proms

0.0 (0)

Sometimes the night of your dreams can be a total nightmare. The prom. It's supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. Or, at least, you're supposed to have a good time. But what if you'd rather be going with your best friend's date than your own? What if a sinister underground society of students has spiked the punch? What if your date turns out to be more of a frog than a prince? Or what if he's (literally) an ape? There are ways you can fight it. You can protest the silliness of the regular prom by hosting a backwards prom - also known as a morp. You can throw a prom for fat girls. You can stay at home to watch old teen movies and get your cute neighbor and his cuter brother to join you. You can dance to your own music. Here, 21 of the funniest, most imaginative writers today create their own kind of prom stories. Some are triumphs. Some are disasters. But each one is a night you'll never forget.
