About the Book
Maggie Quinn is six weeks away from high school graduation. All she needs to do is keep her eye on the goal, but when strange things start happening, Maggie decides it's time to investigate the source of all evil. After all, when the head cheerleader and her clique are all named Jessica...
In at interview at Powells.com[1], author Rosemary Clement-Moore describes Maggie Quinn:
I was inspired by reading the Nancy Drew books, who in a way was a precursor to TV heroines like Buffy Summers, Veronica Mars, and (my personal favorite) Kim Possible. These are girls who are good at solving their own problems. I wanted to tell a story abut a girl who pretty much had her act together, and then something happens to turn everything upside down, and she has to adapt to that...and also, save the world.
Prom Dates From Hell was a 2008 RITA® finalist in the RITA®: Best First Book category. The book was also chosen to be on the New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age 2008 List.
