About This Book

WANTED: New dad, new life... and a really great taco.

Meet Maybelline "Maybe" Chestnut — Goth girl and daughter of Chessy Chestnut, owner of the number one (and only) charm school in Kissimmee, Florida. When Chessy refuses to tell Maybe who her father is — or to protect her from her latest scuzzball husband — Maybe heads to California to find her biological dad, accompanied by her friends Hollywood and Thammasat Tantipinichwong Schneider (Ted for short).

It's a quest that will eventually involve a taco truck, an old movie star, three makeovers, a famous photographer, and Chessy's Seven Select Rules for Young Ladies, as a charm-school dropout proves to be a drop-dead charmer in Lisa Yee's young-adult debut.
