Zendaya inks book deal at 16

Zendaya has landed a book deal at the tender age of 16.

The Shake It Up actress, who has boosted her fanbase by taking part in hit show Dancing with the Stars, will release her debut tome through Disney Publishing Worldwide in August (13).

The book, entitled Between U and Me: How To Rock Your Tween Years With Style And Confidence, will dish out advice to young girls.

A statement from the star reads, "The tween years can be really fun and exciting, but they can also be a tough time in a girl's life. You're just finding your voice and personal style. There's a lot of drama in relationships with other girls, parents, siblings, teachers, and boys.

"I hope this book will help girls through the tougher parts of the tween years and help them appreciate the fun parts."
