"Fashion International high school is a fashion lover&amp;#039;s dream: Students take classes in Style History instead of U.S. Government; Runway Reporting replaces English 101; and Phys Ed means vogueing and pose-offs. But for budding fashionista Pashmina Purrstein and her feline-obsessed best friends, Felinez, Angora, and Aphro, the best part of junior year means being able to compete in the school&amp;#039;s annual Catwalk design competition. As house leader, Pashmina has to recruit the best team of designers, stylists, models, and photographers to dominate the runway at New York Fashion Week. Off the runway, Pashmina still has tons to deal with. She needs to help Felinez with her body issues, figure out how to help her own weird younger sister find an after-school job, and avoid guy drama! On top of it all, the other competitors put the &amp;quot;catty&amp;quot; in Catwalk, and with prizes like a trip to Florence and a feature on the Teen Style Network up for grabs, the stakes are high enough to bring out the madness. If you love fashion magazines, live for Project Runway or America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model, and have an appreciation for all things stylish, Catwalk is definitely the book for you \u2014 but even non-fashionistas will root for spunky Pashmina and her friends (though you might have to check the book&amp;#039;s glossary every few pages to look up some of the characters&amp;#039; trademark cat-speak phrases, like &amp;quot;dropping an Altoid,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;furbulous&amp;quot;). Since Catwalk is the first in a two-book series, you&amp;#039;ll have to wait to see whose house ultimately comes out on top. Either way, it&amp;#039;s sure to be fierce!
