There she was, Deenie Fenner, almost 13, stuck in a doctor's closet trying to get into two body stockings, and scared out of her wits. All those awful Saturday trips to modelling agencies weren't anything like this...

Deenie's mother wanted her to be a model, with her face on magazine covers--maybe even in the movies. Deenie wanted to spend her Saturdays with her friends Janet and Midge, tracking Harvey Grabowsky, the captain of the football team, around Woolworth's. She wanted to be a cheerleader, too, or be going to the seventh-grade mixer to hear Buddy Brader play his drums.

But instead she had these body stockings to get on and a roomful of strangers to face. Suddenly Deenie had to cope with a kind of specialness that was frightening--and might be hers forever.
