Tyra Banks to Publish Her First Novel‎

Supermodel turned talk-show host Tyra Banks yesterday announced that she would publish her first novel titled "Modelland," in summer 2011.

The novel is one of a three-book deal with publishing firm Random House. "It's for all the girls and guys who want a lot more FANTASY in their lives … and some fierceness and magic, romance and mystery, crazy and wild adventures, and yeah, some danger too," Banks wrote on her website.

The book, which will be Banks' first fiction book, will tell the story of a teen girl in a magical world who find a place in an academy for "Intoxibellas" - "the most exceptional models known to humankind." At the academy, the teenager battles several hardship in order to get accepted. She also finds herself competing for a way of life "that's both hotly desired and woefully out of reach."
