Product Description:
'High school has always been this stressful, but rarely this hilarious.' —BOOKLIST (starred review)
More famous than ever after hitting the silver screen, the ever-dramatic Lola Cep is still in the spotlight — vying with Born-to-Win, Born-to-Run-Everything Carla Santini to snag the lead in the high school play. Can Lola survive Carla's attempts at retaliation? Once the curtain goes up, which drama queen will take center stage?
Amazon.com Review:
Mary Elizabeth, a.k.a. Lola, is accustomed to playing the starring role in the fascinating production that is her life. Her pottery-making single mom and bratty twin sisters are merely bit players in Lola's dramatic existence. But all this changes when she is forced to move from her beloved Manhattan to the boring suburbs of New Jersey. According to Lola, 'living in the suburbs is like being dead, only with cable TV and pizza delivery.' The worst part is that someone has already snagged the coveted Drama Queen of Suburbia title--and that someone is Carla Santini. Carla, who is 'sophisticated, beautiful, and radiates confidence the way a towering inferno radiates heat,' isn't about to let anyone take away her hard-earned crown. Undaunted, Lola tries out for and wins the lead in the school play, a role much desired by Carla. In retaliation, Carla makes the entire student body give Lola the silent treatment (and in addition scores tickets to a sold-out concert of Lola's favorite rock band). Can Lola crash the concert, crush Carla, and still have enough energy to wow everyone in the school production of Pygmalion? It's all in a day's work for Lola, Teenage Drama Queen.
With Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Dyan Sheldon has written a classic good girl vs. bad girl story and a rib-tickling romp through the petty kingdom (or in this case, queen-dom) of small-town high school popularity politics. The wide-open ending will have young drama-queens-in-training eagerly searching the shelves for the subsequent installment of Lola's adventures. (Ages 12 and older) --Jennifer Hubert

When I picked up Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen I the plot quickly grabbed my attention. This was I great book and I highly reccomend it. If you don't like "girly-girl" books, this may not be the one for you. I reccomend it for 4th-7th graders. I read it in fith grade. I hope you found my review helpful.

Mary Cep, well i mean Lola (is what she likes to be called). Lola is in her own little world. She lived in New York in manhattan and she finds out that she has to move to New Jersey Dellwood a.k.a. "Deadwood". Lola's dream is to become a Actress and she feels moving to "deadwood" is going to cramp her Style.
She goes to a new school and finds out that she's not the only drama queen, there are plenty more. She meets her only frined Ella who is totally the same but somewhat opposite from Lola. And they clicked, But she finds out there is a play that she want to play in but their is trouble coming her way when she finds out that Ms. Carla Santini is going to for the same part Carla also known as a drama queen, the diffences between them is that Carla is rich and Lola is not the rich. That causes drama between two big drama queens. Through out the book They are getting at each other.

Mary Elizabeth cep or like she prefers to be call Lola because she think "Mary Elizabeth" sond like an English maid. She thinks Lola is romantic and mysterious. The story start when Mary's mom dissaded to move to New Jersey. Mary, her mom and her two sister twins pam and paula move to Dellwood or "Deadwood" New Jersey. There Mary think she was going to be the center of attention in the town and school. Mary dissaded to start her own makebelieve life but it dint work her way because the most popurlar girl in school was not going to let Mary her spothlight. Carla Santini made her life hard for Mary or Lola (that how every one call her in the high school). Mary try out for the school play PYGMALION and she got the lead part because she knew Carla wanted that part for then on Carla try to make Mary life a living hell but Mary make it and she got the spotlight she wanted seen the beginning
I relly like this book like this book because this book is realistic. I could relate to this book like Mary i move too to passaic New Jersey n like Mary I lie on some think but I dint lie about big think i didnt kill my father like she didnt so her friend could fell sorry for her and her family. This book is verry interisting n it makes you ask your self what is going 2 happens next. I recomment this book to every one. Dyan Sheldon is a very good writer.

Mary Elizabeth Cep has known practically since birth that her name is far too ordinary for a girl of her nature. This is why she has renamed herself Lola Elspeth Cep (or Sep, she hasn't decided yet). However, her friends and family in The City, who have known her her whole life, fail to comply.
So, when her mother announces that they are moving to Dellwood (aka Deadwood), New Jersey, Lola (after finally resigning herself to the news) sees it as a chance to reinvent herself, and the likes of Carla Santini, the most popular girl in school, can't stop her. Along the path of her reinvention she befriends Ella, her polar opposite on the wildness scale, and shows her that a little adventure now and then is perfectly acceptable. A classic new-girl tale is pumped up with drama and makes for an entertaining read.

'WOW' This is a really good book. Mary Elizabeth Cep none as Lola, is a huge drama queen whitch is what her mom refers to her. She's also a normal teenager who wants to go to the last consert of Sidartha. Her parents gave Lola offers but none of them are good enough for her or Lola's friend Ema. They also have to proof something to the meanest,richest girl in New York Carla Santini. Lola also has to get the leading role in the drama club. The night of the Sidhartha consert comes and Lola has a plan. At very first it dosen't work out but towards the end it all works out good.
