    [synopsis] => In Marla Klein and Ivy Wilde's world, teens are the gatekeepers of culture. A top fashion label employs sixteen-year-old Marla to dictate hot new clothing trends, while Ivy, a teen pop star, popularizes the garments that Marla approves. Both girls are pawns in a calculated but seductive system of corporate control, and both begin to question their world's aggressive levels of consumption. Will their new "eco-chic" trend subversively resist and overturn the industry that controls every part of their lives?

 Smart, provocative, and entertaining, this thrilling page-turner for teens questions the cult like mentality of fame and fashion. Are you in or are you out? "Through its likable characters, sly humor, and smart, fast-moving plot, this entertaining debut raises serious questions about the costs of disposable fashion and pursuit of celebrity, asking readers to ponder who's driving the bus. Sly, subversive fun." -Kirkus "Consumerism and fashion trends strike at the heart of this novel...Material Girls might make teens take a look at their wardrobe, but more importantly, they might reconsider their consumer footprint." -VOYA "A book that should make kids think about many things, especially how the culture tries to manipulate them." -Booklist "Project Runway, step aside. Material Girls is a captivating and fast-paced ride where teens control the economy by deciding what's in and what's out. Or maybe they just think they do." -Joelle Charbonneau, New York Times best-selling author of The Testing trilogy
