For a girl who shares her name with a princess (a.k.a Aurora from Sleeping Beauty), Aurora Skye's life seem fathoms away from a fairytale. Sure, she's landed Hayden Paris, Potential Prince extraordinaire. And she got her wish - one first kiss with all the knee-trembling, butterfly-inducing gloriousness she'd hoped for - but Aurora's learning that a kiss is just the beginning of a story.Instead of being the truly transcendent, utterly epic follow up it should be, her second attempt at kissing has literally landed Hayden Paris in the emergency room. If that's not mortifying enough, the whole school is now referring to her as 'Lethal Lips'.Meanwhile it's all systems go for her best friend Cassie - she and Potential Prince Scott are totally loved up and can't stop kissing. Jelena (Jefferson High's answer to Helen of troy) has moved on from the heinous betrayal by Bad Boy Alex West and has unleashed her plan to rule the world by running for School Captain. Problem is Alex is running too and Jelena's pulling out all the stops to prevent him from stealing her rightful place as ruler of Jefferson High - including offering Aurora's Find a Prince/Princess Program as one of her campaign initiatives.How is Aurora going to prove her program is foolproof and help Jelena win the election when her matchmaking manoeuvres seem to be throwing all the wrong people together - including the NAD and the hippy-dippy Ms Deforest - and she can't even convince Hayden to kiss her?Age: 12+
