Publisher Description

Fifteen-year-old Wonder Blake and her family are trying to recover from the death of Wonder's older sister Lucky, who was about to sign a major record deal when she died. When Lucky's talent manager runs into Wonder at the Dairy Queen where she works, her life takes a dramatic turn--suddenly, despite her own ambivalence, she is the one signing the record deal. Transformed into a teen idol and thrust into the spotlight, Wonder learns what it takes to be a star--and also what it costs. The new world she has entered will leave her forever changed.

"This tells the story of the rise of a pop star one summer and how she deals with the fame and the death of her sister and the strain that caused on her family. This wasn't nearly as good as Gingerbread et al. but was fun. The ending was totally predictable but one I was rooting for anyway."

    " Not as good as the Gingerbread books, but still a good read. Actually, it was better than I expected it to be. Although the main character is in a highly unusual situation (not one your average teen would get into), this is still a great coming of age book. "

    " A cute teen American idol flick with a sweat main character and believable side stars, but if there is a sequel, i won't be picking it up. The most i can say is that i liked that the author showed pop culture the way it is, with drugs, sex, and sexual identity making a pointed appearance. "

    " Decent read! Don't be put off because it deals with pop music, this gives you an interesting viewpoint on Pop Princesses and what it takes to make it in the music industry. It's very strong on finding who you are, and doing things your way, but that comes later in the book. Good read. "
