Holly Wood Life Details
Grade 6 Up–Kaitlin Burke is an overworked teen celebrity who thinks it
would be cool to be ordinary for a couple of months. She also wants to
get away from her competitive costar, Sky Mackenzie, who has been making
her life difficult. After a bit of brainstorming, she decides to
enroll, incognito, in her friend Liz's high school. During the next few
weeks, she discovers how nice it is to have friends who like her for who
she is–or appears to be–rather than because she's famous. She even
starts a relationship with Austin, a nice boy who, ironically, has a
crush on Kaitlin Burke, but hasn't a clue that he's dating her. Things
go awry when Sky is asked to host the school's spring fling, which has a
Hollywood theme. Everyone dresses as a celebrity, and Kaitlin ends up
going as herself. While at the dance, Sky nastily unveils Kaitlin's
secret. It's not surprising that her friends, especially Austin, feel
betrayed, but she manages to redeem herself in the end. The protagonist
is kind, unspoiled, and upstanding–refreshingly different from the norm.
Fans of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries (HarperCollins) or Ann Brashares's
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books (Delacorte) will gobble this
one up.–Catherine Ensley, Latah County Free Library District, Moscow, ID
