Sex & The City author Candace Bushnell wants teen sensation Miley Cyrus to play the young Carrie Bradshaw if her prequel novels are turned into movies of TV shows.

Bushnell has just signed a deal to pen two teen novels about her character Bradshaw's high school years and she'd love for Cyrus to take the lead in a TV or film spin-off.

When asked to name her new Carrie - a part Sarah Jessica Parker has played on the big and small screen - Bushnell said, "I don't know... What about Miley Cyrus?"

And it appears Cyrus is game - in a recent interview she said, "I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex & The City."
