Description
Shy 12 year old Maddie Marples-Macintosh hates the limelight, but with the life she’s living, it’s almost impossible to avoid it! For one thing, both her parents are big TV stars – her Mom, Mandii Marples, hosts the top-rating showbiz report: “Celebri TV”, and her Dad, Mac Macintosh, is a famous globe-trotting journalist. No prizes for guessing that Maddie’s home life is anything but ordinary. Even Amelia Earhart, her all too human Chinese Crested Hairless pooch, practically needs to book her walkies in advance!
Luckily Maddie can always count on her two closest friends: Saffron and Rainbow. Although they’re about as different as it’s possible to get, the trio form a nucleus tighter than a uranium atom. Maddie trusts them with her life... Just not her big secret!
You see, since the start of high school, Maddie has been living a double life! Beneath her shy exterior there beats the heart of... an online oracle who hosts the advice column of the official school weblog, known to her devoted fans only as “Ms. Communic8ion”.
Every day, Maddie logs on secretly and tackles the latest batch of queries. No topic is too contentious, no dilemma too daunting! And, like a pre-teen Carry Bradshaw, Ms. Communic8ion always answers with wisdom, warmth, and sparkling wit...and, of course, the freedom of total anonymity. Not that there haven’t been close calls– particularly from L33t, the school’s resident über-geek and a fervent Ms. Communic8ion critic.
Even though she’s a school-wide phenomenon online, in real life Maddie is constantly overlooked...particularly by Ace, the aspiring rock star for whom she carries a secret torch. If only Maddie had an oracle to turn to with her own dilemmas!
But that’s just not how it works when you’re the one and only Ms Communic8ion!
