From Emmy award-winning writer Kate Rorick comes a novel about modern-day morals, motherhood, and getting your worst moment plastered across the internet. It was the mommy meltdown seen around the world! Quinn Barrett's Instagram-perfect life turns inside out when her son refuses to wear his hand-crafted costume to the Little Wonders Preschool Happy Halloween Parade and Dance Party. She loses it -- complete with stomping, screaming, and costume-destruction galore. Not her best day. And caught on viral video. Yep, Halloween Mom is now internet famous. The posting culprit: tattooed, blue-haired, west-coast transplant Daisy McGulch, out of place in the posh New England town and unable to blend with the other perfect mommies of Little Wonders Preschool. While she couldn't care less about organic snacks (paleo-preferred) or the winter quarters of the Little Wonders chickens, she's not about to admit she's the one who accidently brought Quinn's worst moment to the entire world-she'd be kicked out of town! But when Quinn and Daisy find themselves unlikely cohorts in the fight for Little Wonders Parents Association supremacy, they also discover they have more in common then they expected ... but the internet is forever. Can Quinn live down her new reputation? And how far will Daisy go to keep the truth from coming to light? Hilarious, clever, and unforgettable, Little Wonders offers a glimpse into the high-pressure world of modern momming, with natural toys, scrutinized playdates, PTA politics, and social media gone amok

"Before her older sister, Lizzie, started her wildly popular vlog, Lydia was just a normal twenty-year-old plotting the many ways she could get away with skipping her community college classes and finding the perfect fake ID. She may not have had much direction, but she loved her family and had plenty of fun. Then Lizzie's vlog turned the Bennet sisters into Internet sensations, and Lydia basked in the attention as people watched, debated, tweeted, tumblr'd, and blogged about her life. But not all attention is good. After her ex-boyfriend, George Wickham took advantage of Lydia's newfound web-fame, betrayed her trust, and destroyed her online reputation, she's no longer a naive, carefree girl. Now, Lydia must work to win back her family's trust and respect and find her place in a far more judgmental world"--Www.simonandschuster.com.
