Title page: PENELOPE GRAY'S GUIDE TO SURVIVING LOVE AND THE UNDERWORLD.Pitch: When a teen girl is swept to an underworld ruled by her long-absent father, she must navigate strange magic, a demon friend, and a rival trying to steal her title (and possibly her heart).Comps: covers of Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst, and Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by CB Lee.Excerpt:       If you’re reading this, then the secrecy spell Baz gave me was total malarky. (That’s my Grandma Ruth’s favorite word. And no, she absolutely does NOT know about this Underworld stuff.) 
      Baz, if this IS you: You are so dead. I don’t care that demons can’t die. I WILL find a way.  
      For any mortals reading this: STOP! Trust me, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. Do you really want your entire understanding of reality to be turned upside down? Because that’s exactly what happened to me this summer, and I do NOT recommend it. Go back to your blissfully normal, demon-free life while you can.
