Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small Art Deco hotel in the heart of New York City. When each of the Martins turns fifteen, they are expected to take over the care of a suite. For Scarlett's fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite and a permanent guest named Mrs. Amberson. Scarlett doesn't quite know what to make of this C-list starlet and world traveler. And when she meets Eric, an astonishingly gorgeous actor who has just moved to the city, her summer takes a second unexpected turn. Before the summer is over, Scarlett will have to survive a whirlwind of thievery and romantic missteps. But in the city where anything can happen, she just might be able to pull it off.
"I can't wait until my room at the Hopewell is ready." -- Meg Cabot "This book is made of funny and whimsical deliciousness (really, lick a page and taste for yourself)." -- Libba Bray "I couldn't put it down." -- Michele Jaffe "I loved it!" -- E. Lockhart "An utterly winning, madcap Manhattan farce, crafted with a winking, urbane narrative and tight, wry dialogue." -- ALA Booklist, starred review
Maureen Johnson lives in New York City. She wonders if you have read any of her previous books: The Key to the Golden Firebird, The Bermudez Triangle, 13 Little Blue Envelopes, Devilish, or Girl at Sea. It's okay if you haven't; she is sure to LIKE you anyway. Unlike Scarlett, Maureen does not live in a hotel, but she wishes she did.
