Review

• Grades 7-10 In this follow-up to Premiere and Catwalk (both 2010), sisters Paige and Erin Forrester take their reality TV show on location in Paris to interview famous designers and see the sights. Narrated by Erin, the less-glamorous sister, the story follows the girls as they wrestle with boy issues, are tempted by alcohol, and deal with jealous models. The beautiful French countryside combines with plenty of designer name-dropping to make for a quick read. Author Carlson once again gives girls a fun story line peppered with Christian themes and real-life concerns. -- Moore, Melissa (Reviewed 07-01-2010) (Booklist, vol 106, number 21, p51)
• Gr 8 Up — Rendezvous continues the story of Erin and Paige, who have a reality TV series about fashion. The sisters are heading off to Paris to interview designers, and glamorous Paige can't wait to shop till she drops. Erin, however, is more down-to-earth and is looking forward to taking photos, visiting important sites, and learning more about the city. The filming goes well with only a few bumps, and the sisters have fun getting haircuts, visiting designers (where Erin receives a beautiful Birkin bag that Paige covets), and working on new ideas for the show. When they meet up with a pair of wealthy models and are invited to the country chateau belonging to Eliza's family to film a charity event, Erin develops a deeper understanding of how deceitful and shallow the supermodel is, and how blessed she is to be able to hold true to her Christian beliefs in the overwhelming midst of excess. This title will be snapped up by readers of the series, but those unfamiliar with it would be better served by starting with the first book.—Susan Riley, Mount Kisco Public Library, NY --Susan Riley (Reviewed May 1, 2011) (School Library Journal, vol 57, issue 5, p108)
