Packed with humor, heart, and plenty of teenage drama, this novel proves that popularity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Meet Chloe Snow

But when a chance encounter lands her on the school’s “It Girl” radar, she’s thrust into a whirlwind of photo shoots, fashion advice, and social events that feel completely foreign. Can this geek survive in the spotlight?

High-School Hijinks

Between rival cliques, cryptic crushes, and a talent show audition gone awry, Chloe’s new status brings more complications than compliments. Bianca, the reigning queen bee, sees Chloe as a threat, while Chloe’s best friends fear she’s changing too much. Navigating lockers and lunch tables has never been so unpredictable.

Friendship, Identity, and Self-Respect

Through Chloe’s misadventures, Birchall explores the balance between staying true to yourself and embracing new opportunities. Readers will cheer as Chloe learns that real confidence comes from authenticity, not from what’s trending.

Perfect for Tween and Teen Readers

With its witty dialogue and relatable heroine, The It Girl: Superstar Geek is a fun, fast read for anyone who’s ever felt caught between two worlds—geek and glam. Prepare to laugh, cringe, and cheer as Chloe rewrites the rules of high-school cool.
