Catwalk Queen

Fashion, Friendship, and Finding Your Voice

In Catwalk Queen, the second book in Cathy Hopkins’ fun and feel-good series about teenage style, dreams, and self-discovery, readers are invited back into the world of Jess Hall, a rising star in the glamorous yet unpredictable world of fashion modeling. Set against the backdrop of high-stakes photo shoots, backstabbing rivals, and whirlwind catwalks, this charming novel follows Jess as she tries to balance school, friendships, and her blossoming career — all while staying true to who she really is. When a major designer picks her for a prestigious show in Paris, it seems like her big break has arrived. But success brings new pressures, and Jess quickly learns that the runway isn’t always as dazzling as it looks.

Under the Lights, Behind the Curtain

As Jess navigates the highs and lows of her modeling life, she must also contend with jealous classmates, controlling agents, and the pressure to look and act perfectly at all times. A surprise scandal threatens to destroy her reputation, and suddenly, everything she’s worked for is on the line. With her confidence shaken and her friendships tested, Jess must decide what truly matters: fitting in, or standing out on her own terms. Through tears, triumphs, and tenacity, she discovers that being a real ‘catwalk queen’ is about more than outer beauty — it’s about grit, courage, and staying grounded in a world built on illusions.
