The pint-sized star is currently promoting her first novel, A Shore Thing, on shelves now. "It's a little vulgar," she admitted of the based-on-real-life tome. "I actually toned it down because I know I have a lot of young fans who are like, 13, so I took a lot of swear words out. I don't want to get them grounded or anything."
