Fame, Glory, and Other Things On My To Do List

FAME, GLORY, AND OTHER THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST: Janette Rallison: Walker Publishing: Young Adult: 186 pages

Jessica, a junior in a small New Mexico town, dreams of Hollywood stardom. She is devastated when a lack of funds threatens cancellation of the school play. Into her life steps Jordan, a new student whose father is a famous actor. Jordan wants to keep this hidden, but Jessica hatches a scheme to save the play by revealing his identity to the drama teacher and promising that he will audition for a role.

This was a quick, enjoyable read. Jordan has a hard time being the son of a famous actor and Jessica doesn’t help the matter, but it all works out in the end. A fun young adult book.
