Four teens on the fast track to pop-rock superstardom--sweet and trusting Kendall, spoiled Wynn, no-nonsense Stella, and the boy A/B--reveal the uncensored truth about the glamorous, backstabbing world of sudden celebrity. Original.
THE VOICE: Kendall knows exactly what--and who--she wants...and nothing is going to stand in her way. THE BOY: A/B has fallen hard for the perfect girl. Will he stay faithful to her while the band is on tour? Not if Kendall gets a say in it. THE BOSS: Stella is *so* over the band's manager, Brian...sort of. Luckily there are plenty of distractions on tour. And if one of those distractions makes Brian jealous? More fun for everyone. THE BODY: PR-stunt dates with boring actors; icky photo shoots; obsessed fans... Life in the spotlight is hot--and Wynn might get burned.
