Meet, Catie Conrad - a typical, tween, Christian girl with,
oh, the weight of the world on her shoulders. And if it isn’t bad
enough that no one seems to understand the social pressures of
being the greatest at everything, donning the latest fashions, and
carrying the trendiest technology, Catie’s dad is about to uproot
her and her family to an Indian reservation during spring break for
his job. Throw in a school dance, a major art contest, and an arch
nemesis known only as Miranda Maroni and there’s bound to be an
epic meltdown of biblical proportions. Or, maybe not…
Finally a voice in the tween genre that is relatable and no less
humorous for girls aged 9 to 12 by author Angie Spady. The first
book in a new series titled Desperate Diva Diaries, Catie
Conrad: Faith, Friendship, and Fashion Disasters chronicles
both the small triumphs and general mishaps of sixth-grade
Christian want-to-be diva, Catie Conrad. While her Christian
journalist father is often a co-conspirator to making Catie’s life
interesting with mission trips and church projects, Catie never
ceases to realize God’s hand in all situations.
