Chloe, Queen of Denial (Smooch)

When 16-year-old Chloe is offered the chance to join a dig in Egypt, she can think of nothing besides the horrors of flying and the evils that lurk within the desert. In order to be able to endure the unendurable, she takes on a new persona. Instead of Chloe the Queen of Denial, she reinvents herself as Chloe the Brave, Chloe the Leader, Chloe the Outspoken. So convincing is she in her new persona that the other kids begin to look upon her as the new person she pretends to be.

'Chloe, Queen of Denial' is a refreshing look through the eyes of a self-conscious and very insecure young girl. As the story progresses, she comes to learn that life is to be relished and not endured, and ends up with a much better image of herself.

Witty, funny show more and pitch-perfect, this is a YA novel that will appeal to all youngsters as well as adults. Highly recommended.
