Justina Chen Headley Signs Her New Book Girl Overboard

Justina's Girls

Saturday, January 19, 2008 1:00p-3:00pm

Justina Chen Headley Signs her new book Girl Overboard. Plus, find out more about the Go Overboard Challenge Grant for youth-led ideas that challenge the world!

Girl Overboard - The worst thing about having it all is having to deal with it all—the good, the bad, and the just plain weird. Everybody thinks Syrah is the golden girl. After all, her father is Ethan Cheng, billionaire, and she has everything any kid could possibly desire, right down to a waterfront mansion, jet plane, and custom-designed snowboards. But as Syrah reveals in her manga journal, most of what glitters in her life is fool's gold. Her half-sibs hate her, her best friend is in a consuming relationship, and a snowboarding accident exiles her from the mountains—the one place where she feels free and accepted for who she is, not what she has. As she rehabs her busted-up knee, Syrah rehabs her heart and learns that she's worth her weight in real gold.

Go Overboard Challenge Grant - Burton Snowboards and Girl Overboard author Justina Chen Headley, in partnership with Youth Venture, are co-sponsoring the Go Overboard Challenge Grant to find the best youth-led ideas to change the world.

Commit to a cause you're already passionate about-whether it's saving the environment, ending world hunger, or protecting endangered species. Olympic Gold medalist Hannah Teter, with the help of Green Mountain Sugar House, bottles Vermont-grown maple syrup-Hannah's Gold hannahsgold.com- to earn money for AIDS orphans in Africa. Justina co-founded readergirlz—an online book community—to promote teen girl literacy. And Syrah in Girl Overboard spearheaded a huge snowboarding event to raise awareness for cancer. So think about a problem and figure out a solution!

Justina Signing Her BookThen tell us how you, your club, your team, or your entire school will Go Overboard. The best ideas will win one of the many Go Overboard Challenge Grants of up to $1,000 each. So get ready to change the world with your plans.
