dream girl: a novel

"Teens are likely to relish this book as much for descriptions of the rich as for the paranormal touches. Fans of the 10th Grade Social Climber series . . . will feel right at home in the New York scene, which features the opulence of the Gossip GIrls with little of the cattiness."

I love Claire so much.  She's cool and funny and vulnerable and wise-- just the girl detective that New York City needs. --Bennett Madison, author of the Lulu Dark series

Claire Voyante has been having strange visions ever since she can remember. But the similarity between her name and her talents is purely coincidental. The name is French, and unlike the psychics on TV, she can't solve crimes or talk to the dead. Whenever Claire follows her hunches, she comes up empty - or ends up in pretty awkward situations. But that all changes on Claire's 15th birthday, when her grandmother, Kiki-former socialite, fashion icon, and permanent fixture at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel - gives her something a little more extraordinary than one of her old cocktail dresses: a strange black-and-white onyx cameo on a gold chain. It's not long before Claire's world becomes a whole lot clearer. And a whole lot more dangerous.
