Ever wonder what Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw was like as a teenager? How she evolved into the smart, sophisticated writer and fashionista so many adore?
Carrie's creator, Candace Bushnell, tells all in The Carrie Diaries (Balzer + Bray, $18.99, on sale Tuesday), a young-adult novel about Carrie's life as a high school senior in a small town in Connecticut.

Carrie's evolving fashion sense — she's wearing vintage go-go boots in the first chapter — her romantic relationships, her musings on teen culture and her dreams of becoming a writer are all revealed in this first-person narrative Bushnell hopes will attract young and not-so-young readers.
The Carrie Diaries is a coming-of-age story and Bushnell's first book for teens.
