My Thoughts:

* No pretensions look into life of a normal teenager ( is normal used in the same sentence as teenagers :) )
* It made high school look normal. Pleasant change from the usual drugs , violence and other unwanted stuff kids read about in books.
* Jenny's advice columns are one of the highlights of the book.
* Book makes a ideal gift for any teen especially girls. ( )

Jenny Greenly has been everybody's best friend or, like her REAL best friend called her, mayonnaise. She even helps out people with them not knowing it's her. You see, Jen is the secret advisor, Annie, who people go to to solve their personal relationships. She does the layout and the other secret thing (being Annie) for the Clayton High School Register in Clayton, Indiana. Of course, only the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and a few other administrators of the school know about the Ask Annie thing. But something very big is about to happen in the small town of Clayton.

Nineteen-year-old screen sensation Luke Striker is coming to this town to research a role for a big project coming up. So the school suggested Jenny be the one to show Luke around the school and keep this whole deal a secret. They decided for him to be a transfer student named Lucas Smith. Jen thought that Luke was going to be coming in like a week -- not the very next day! Anyway, Jen is not the type of person who gets star struck by a CELEBRITY! But I guess this was a very first for her. As she got to spend more time with Luke she seemed comfortable around him and didn't think he was one of those people who are just snotty, mean, and self-centered.

But will Luke turn out to be someone Jen didn't think he was going to be? Will she blow his cover with a little mistake or will Luke manage to do that on his own? Find out!

This book is so awesome! It's just so many things happening that you feel like you're totally in the moment! I personally think that Meg Cabot's books are really good and just right on with the every day life of teens. ( )

This is a great book, I NEED to read the next book!!!! ( )

Jenny Greenly is everybody's bestfriend. When she asked to be a student guide to movie star, Luke Striker she accepts the offer. He is coming to her high school to research for a role and goes under cover. When people find out his identity he has to leave and go back to LA, but not before telling Jenny that she has the power to change the way Clayton High School is. When he leaves she goes on a mission to change Clayton High school. I enjoyed this book becuase it shows how one perosn can change an entire school and the way an entire school thinks. ( )

Jen Greenley, 17 year old Junior at Clayton High School in Clayton Indiana, is the type of girl everyone wants to be friends with because she’s easygoing, cute, and nice to everyone. Jen never challenges the status quo, she sings in her school's show choir, and she even secretly dispenses advice in the "Ask Annie" column of her school's newspaper. Jen has the perfect life--or does she?

When Jen is put in charge of guiding the major motion picture teen star, Luke Striker (aka Lucas Smith), around Clayton High she isn't even excited. Jen is not interested in movie stars. She would rather read science fiction books than moon over the latest glossy pics in gossip magazines. Guiding undercover Luke around Clayton High is just another duty in Jen Greenley's predictable life. However, Jen is in for quite a surprise when Luke comes to town!

At first, Jen is able to keep Luke's true identity a secret, and she feels that her life will return to normal once Luke heads back to Hollywood. However, after a few days in Clayton, everyone in town finds out who Lucas Smith really is, and chaos ensues. All the girls in Clayton, including Jen's best friend Trina, want to date Luke, entertainment reporters camp out at Jen's house, and now Jen is going to the Spring Fling with Luke as her date! Will Jen's life ever go back to being normal again? Or maybe that normal isn't what Jen needs?

Teen Idol by Meg Cabot is a super engaging and funny book. The audio book version of this novel is delightfully read by Elizabeth Moss who expertly brings the characters of Clayton High to life. Teen Idol may not be thought-provoking literature, but if you are looking for a tall and refreshing glass of lemonade on a hot summer day, then this novel is your ticket! ( )

What would happen if a teen heartthrob went undercover at your local high school? That's the setup for this story in which a nice girl grows a spine. it was a cute, fast read, and very sweet. I liked the message. Don't try to please everybody. Good advice.

This is a really amazing book about a girl. An ordinary girl. But something is about to happen that just might involve überhot movie stars that is about to change her life for the rest of eternity. ( )

Jennifer Greenely is know as the 'nice girl' in school. Little does she know that her world woill change when they partner her and Luke Striker, a famous hollywood actor, together to help him study the acts he has to do. The theme that the author rings out in this book is meant for all. When YOU can change the world, school, or your home for the better, stive and accomplish the goal you have set. Not only does that make you a better person, it enables you to help others as well.

Excellent in the happy teen fluff way that her books often are.

Hey how many reviews can I get on this book?

Meg Cabot writes a very hilarious, novel. Jennifer Greenly is the type of girl who always tries to make her friends feel better. She is the one who would always check on her classmates if she thought they were upset, even if they were not her good friends. She is so trustworthy, she even writes a ‘Dear Annie” column anonymously. Her own best friend Trina doesn’t even know about her column but always confides in her as well. Until she meets Luke Striker, Jennifer didn’t even realize just how much she “smoothed over” things among her peers. So, she begins to stir things up a little at Clayton High School by assisting ostracized students, throwing a wrench in the senior prank and becoming the center of attention in the press. Luke Striker is striking Clayton High. ( )

it was grate ( )

This was a surprisingly entertaining book (I listed to it on CD). Jenna is the good girl, the one everybody likes, who smoothes over all the conflicts and doesn't make any waves. When she's chosen to buddy with Luke Striker, a famous Hollywood actor who's coming (in top secret guise) to the small Indiana High School to research for a role, she never predicts the effect he'll have on her life. Egged on by Luke, Jenna starts making waves, with some very positive results; she also happens to find love (but not with Luke) in the process. ( )

This book is about a girl named Jenny Greenly and how she likes this famous star named Luke Striker. Jenny finds out what it is like to fall in love and if Luke is the guy she realy likes.

Even better than The Princess Diaries series, TEEN IDOL is the story about a girl-next-door who learns to use her influence to change the world. (Okay, not the world. But at least the people at her high school.)
Nice girl Jenny Greenley has a secret position on the school newspaper: she's Ask Annie, the unofficial school psychologist who gives advice to anyone who writes in. Only the school administrators and Scott Bennett, her friend and the newspaper's editor-in-chief, know about her extra job. Jenny is good at keeping secrets and not making a big deal out of things; that's why the administration chooses her to be the student guide for Luke Striker, a famous teen actor who's going undercover at Jenny's high school in order to research how normal high school students act for his next movie. If it had been anyone else being the guide, “Lucas’” secret would have been out and at the mercy of the high school’s extremely silly girls, including Jenny’s best friend, super-devoted fan Trina.
Through unforeseeable circumstances, Luke's real identity is exposed, and he jets it back to Hollywood--and safety. Before he goes, however, he gives Jenny a challenge: everybody likes her, why not use her power to inflict social change at her high school?
Doubtful, Jenny nevertheless tries to speak up more. The results are incredible. She gets Trina mad at her, helps turn a class laughingstock's life around, and stands up for herself for the first time in her life. The only problem is that with her newfound courage, she realizes she might be falling in love…with Scott.
As with all of Meg Cabot's books, TEEN IDOL has romance, humor, a bit of ridiculousness, and a happy ending. Jenny is a likeable protagonist, while Scott is a sweetheart. Fans of her other books will by no means be disappointed by this sweet tale. ( )

When teenage heartthrob Luke Stryker shows up at a small-town Indiana high school to do research for a movie role, he persuades junior Jenny Greenley to use her considerable talents to try to change things at school for the better. ( )
