LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - A new "Sex and the City" book will be targeted at teen readers. "The Carrie Diaries" by "Sex and the City" author Candace Bushnell will take readers back to Carrie Bradshaw's formative years in high school, giving an inside look at Carrie's friendships, romances, and how she realized her dream of becoming a writer.

"I've always been interested in exploring Carrie's teenage years," Bushnell said. "Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd--she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene."

The book is scheduled to be published in the Fall of 2010.
