Carter's first young adult novel, which has been optioned by Disney, "I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You", is a story about a girl who goes to a prestigious spy school and what happens when she falls for a normal boy who has no idea who she "really" is. It has been selected as a Texas Lone Star reading list book for 2007-2008. [ [http://www.txla.org/groups/yart/lone0708a.pdf Texas Library Association] ]
