Explanation During Books Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List
A 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.

This book is surprisingly LOL funny in the closing sequence. And the main character is a likeable PRETTY girl, which you don't see very often in YA lit. I would highly recommend this book for Brynn (even though it is just another boyfriend/girlfriend plot). Janette Rallison is an LDS author, so it is perfectly teen-appropriate.Ok, let me just say the 2 janette rallison books I've read have been PAINFUL for me because the main characters and their voices are eerily similar to someone I see in the mirror everyday! LOL!! It's like Janette has read my diary from my awkward teenage years! holy smokes! Anyways, besides that, this book was great! loved the writing and the whole story with it's twists and turns! Good fun Summer read!
I know I can never go wrong with a Janette Rallison book. I know I can buy her books without reading them before hand. I always know that her books will be fun and clean. This was another book.The first 16 pages were laugh out loud funny for me. I have to admit I was a little frustrated with Jessica for a little while. I love her comments throughout the book. I often had a smile on my face. Who knew West Side Story, Wal-mart, and a Honda Civic with starter problems could be so humorous and
I love Janette Rallison (and her books ;) ). They're teen books, which I usually don't read, but they aren't petty teen books. The characters always learn a lesson and it works out in the end. If I need a pick-me-up, I read a Rallison.More Detailed review here:http://squeakybooks.blogspot.com/2008...
🤣🤣🤣 That sure was a play.
This has always been one of my favorites of Rallison's. The names especially are endearing to me, Jessica and Jordan. Jessica, who works where I work, thinks the way I think, and is clumsy the way I'm clumsy, bless her heart. And Jordan who loses his man earring to impress her. I ship that.
