Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell is writing a pair of teen novels, The Carrie Diaries, that "takes 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," publisher HarperCollins announced yesterday.

The first book will come out in 2010. Bushnell, in a statement, 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." (More Sex and the City stories.)
