The author has a humorous gift with language and a charming way of capturing teenage angst without the usual grit and filth other teen novels are filled with. "Fame" is a family-safe read, but not written safely. There is plenty of satire of society and academia along with poking fun of teenage dilemmas. I recommend it. ( )I actually really enjoyed this book. I though our main charactor had a good voice ( and was pretty funny), and her evolving relationship with Jordan was fun to see. Id say this is a really fun book for teen girls. 0.111 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802796826, Paperback) PC school principal turns West Side Story into a comedy of errors. Sixteen year-old Jessica dreams of Hollywood fame, and when Jordan moves into her small town, she dreams of him too. He’s a movie star’s son, and hey, he’s gorgeous to boot. Jordan has always wanted to get out from the shadow cast by his superstar father, but now that he and his mother have moved so far away from LA, how can he get his divorced parents back together? Jessica convinces Jordan the way to get his father to come for a long visit is to be a part of the school play. And if she’s “discovered” in the process, all the better. Things go wrong when she lets Jordan’s secret identity slip, and grow even more disastrous when the principal tries to change West Side Story into a gangfree, violence-free, politically correct production. In the same romantic and sharply witty spirit of Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws, Janette Rallison delivers another comic gem that teen readers are sure to love.
