Hilary Duff Pens Novel for Young Adults

Newlywed Hilary Duff has written a novel for the Young Adult market. The book is titled Elixer, and is pitched at teen girls. Duff told the AP, “I love reading young adult books even though I'm a little older than the set demographic.” Duff is well-acquainted with the YA demographic from having played Lizzie McGuire from 2001-2004 on the hit Disney television series, where she became a celebrity fashion trend setter.

All in all it has been a busy year for Duff, who recently married professional hockey player Mike Comrie in a dress created by fashion industry icon Vera Wang. She was writing the book at the same time she was planning her wedding and said that both were very challenging and deadline-driven.
