"Her new summer job comes with baggage. Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small hotel in the heart of New York City, and Scarlett lives there with her four siblings - Spencer, Lola, and Marlene.
When each of the Martins turns fifteen, they are expected to take over the care of a suite in the once elegant, now shabby Art Deco hotel. For Scarlett's fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite, and a permanent guest called Mrs. Amberson.
Scarlett doesn't quite know what to make of this C-list starlet, world traveler, and aspiring autobiographer who wants to take over her life. And when she meets Eric, an astonishingly gorgeous actor who has just moved to the city, her summer takes a second unexpected turn.
Before the summer is over, Scarlett will have to survive a whirlwind of thievery, Broadway glamour, romantic missteps, and theatrical deceptions. But in the city where anything can happen, she just might be able to pull it off."
If that makes you want to read the book immediately, it's your lucky day! 5 lucky people will win the paperback copy Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson!

If I could live anywhere in the world, I'd probably pick New Zealand. From what I've seen it's beautiful.

If I could live anywhere...Victoria, British Columbia would win. It is a small, gorgeous city, has 'Old World' charm and mild weather, and is close to both Vancouver and Seattle (major metropoles). It's also on an island in the Pacific Ocean. How isn't that perfect?
Great contest!
