The Look
Publisher: Chicken House
Ted is an awkward, gangly teenager constantly following in her older sister Ava’s confident footsteps. So, imagine her surprise when one day she gets scouted to be a model, rather than her gorgeous, sparkling sister. Ted is even more surprised when it turns out her beloved sister has cancer. As her whole world is turned upside down, it falls to her to decide: fame and fortune, or family and friendship?
The Look is a mature, honest and inspiring story. Follow Ted’s journey through a range of issues, from the perils of professional modeling and the shocking aspects of cancer, to being overshadowed by an older sibling, getting on at school, and finding first love.
