""Mr. Callaway would reveal little of the exact plot, but said the book was about five 11-year-old girls in contemporary London, and dealt with the "rivalry, envy, jealousy and ultimately friendship among schoolgirls."

The book's release comes less than a month after Madonna's latest headline-grabbing stunt, one that also displayed friendship among girls: a racy stage performance with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the MTV Video Music Awards that culminated in Madonna's open-mouthed kiss with Ms. Spears."

That made me laugh. From NYT's article on Madonna's new children's book.
