About the book
The contestants of the Miss Teen Dream pageant are only concerned with practicing their circle turns, dance numbers, and benign answers to interview questions until their plane crashes on a tropical island. Now, with sequins and hair dryers scattered everywhere, the survivors face a huge dilemma: should they search for food and water or continue diligently preparing to appear on national television? The Corporation is counting on them to uphold standards of beauty and behavior, but can the girls count on The Corporation?
