About the Book

Fourteen year old Lizzie Summers always expects fawning photographers and adoring fans to surround her gorgeous supermodel mother. But when Lizzie is approached by a fashion photographer who believes that she's the new face of beauty, Lizzie surprises herself and her family by becoming the newest Summers woman to capture the media spotlight. In this debut young adult series tailored for younger teens, author Joanna Philbin explores what it's really like to grow up in the thick of the celebrity world. As Lizzie and her two best friends, also daughters of celebrities, juggle normal high school events with glamorous family functions, they discover the pitfalls of fame and the importance of friendship.

About the Author :
Joanna Philbin was born in Los Angeles and grew up in New York City. She is the daughter of television host Regis Philbin and started her first novel at the age of seven, but she only got as far as the second chapter. She went on to receive a BA from Brown University and an MFA from the University of Notre Dame. She now lives in Los Angeles, where she is working on a Poppy series set in the Hamptons. Michal Friedman (1967-2011) was a singer and voice actress. She was the voice of Annalise in Speed Racer, Tildie Soames in Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, and Tune in Winx Club, among others.

Review :
As if navigating their high school hallways weren't enough, these girls have to do so under the entire world's watchful eyes! -- "Seventeen" I was drawn to the tantalizing story immediately, but my heart was stolen by the fierce friendship between three 'besties' living life inside the celebrity fishbowl. I can't wait to read the next book! -- "Jen Calonita, author of Secrets of My Hollywood Life" Joanna Philbin, Regis Philbin's daughter, knows all about growing up in the spotlight. She tackles that lifestyle in her debut novel about three fourteen-year-old BFFs-Lizzie, Carina, and Hudson-whose parents are all incredibly famous...The real draw to this story is the friendship between the three girls. New York City is the perfect backdrop for these young teens to explore their own lives. These scenes portraying teen drinking and unchaperoned parties are not addressed, giving the impression that this is acceptable behavior...Girls will be drawn to the three friends and look forward to the next volume. -- "School Library Journal (audio review)" Narrator Michal Friedman's voice is sweet and high pitched, offering character voices that fit the cliched conversations of the teens...Preteen girls will enjoy this peek inside the world of the rich and famous. -- "AudioFile" Philbin has an appealing writing style that gets readers into a New York state of mind. Along with the designer names and posh addresses, there's some introspection, too. -- "Booklist" Readers will be intrigued by the well-drawn characters and their growth over the course of several months. Tweens and young teens will eagerly look forward to the next installment. -- "School Library Journal " Reading Joanna Philbin's funny, witty, and poignant debut is like getting an insider's glimpse into the gilded world of those born to be famous. -- "Alyson Noel, New York Times bestselling author" The daughter of talk show host Regis Philbin tackles a topic that's close to home in her predictably glam (think paparazzi chases, designer apparel, and Fashion Week appearances) but thoroughly enjoyable debut...Despite the potential for a contrived story, Philbin's portrayal of the girls as down-to-earth overachievers who crave normalcy keeps the book in believable territory. Lizzie's physical insecurities (given that her gorgeous mother has been called 'walking proof of God') and growth make her particularly relatable. Who knew? Stars' daughters-they're just like us. -- "Publishers Weekly" The three teenagers are the daughters-best friends who are always looking out for each other and helping one another maneuver through life as a daughter of super star parents...Lizzie is the main character in this book, and she is quite likeable. She has layers of depth with her love of literature, desire to be a writer, and a general distaste for the world of modeling that her mother exists in. This is a fun read and great beginning to a series that will probably be widely read within its genre. -- "Children's Literature"
