Description Concering 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.Rating Appertaining To Books Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List

I like Janette Rallison's books because they are fun, easy reads and they always have a romance :) They are always clean too. You can sit down and read it in one night as well. Good books for vacation. This one wasn't my favorite by her, but still enjoyable.November 2011: I was looking for something light-hearted to read today and this was the perfect fit. A fun read with a little romance thrown in. August 2009: So, the first chapter was probably the funniest Ive read in a long time. Rallison is the queen of coming up with and writing awkward situations. She probably topped the first chapter with the second to last chapter, in which I was literally laughing out loud. This was a fun story, Im not much of a drama person, but I really enjoyed this
Delightfully written with a strong voice that draws one into the story. 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.
This was definitely not my favorite Rallison book. I didn't like that the guy and the girl liked each other so fast, broke up so fast, and then spent much longer not talking. Then after they got over their fight, they were in love and they hardly knew each other before! Plus, there was a little too much high school drama without enough of the funny writing that I like
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 laughed so so so hard during this book. Then when i finished, i kept thinking about the characters and laughing some more!! It is my absolute favorite Janette book i have read thus far. I really wish there was a sequel to this book because i am so curious how things worked out for the characters. Don't get me wrong, I was happy with the ending, it offered resolution, but i am still curious about some things...
