STELLA BELLAROSA: Tales of an Aspiring Teenage Superhero

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Sept. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Award-winning author Julie Krantz's debut novel, STELLA BELLAROSA, is free on Kindle September 25 - 27, 2015.

Bittersweet and laugh-out-loud funny, STELLA BELLAROSA is about two NYC teens who flee Little Italy after stealing a substitute teacher's wallet

A wallet, a thief, and a brilliant plan--what can possibly go wrong?

At least that’s what Stella thinks when she urges Pin Pin to return the stolen wallet—until she gets caught with the goods, that is.  That’s when all heaven, hell and whatever’s-in-between breaks loose, forcing the BFFs to hit the road.

Tag along with Stella and Pin Pin as they ditch Little Italy for midtown Manhattan—all the while battling archrival Angie Como for the title to SOHO’s Annual Food Drive, their ticket to Regis Academy, a posh high school for girls, hidden far, far away in the Catskills. Oh-la-la, for a chance to leave home—for good!

Problem is... the road isn’t much safer than home, especially when the runaways attract the attention of police, museum officials and—worst of all—Stella’s unforgiving father. Also pitted against their extravagant dreams is the threat of Pin Pin and her family’s deportation, including baby sister, Audrey, who lies at the heart of this quirky coming-of-age novel—STELLA BELLAROSA, a serious MG with a funny-bone.
