Gr 4–6—Katie Cox loves singing and writing songs, and she has a lot of subject matter to inspire her lyrics and melodies. When her friends convince Katie to sing one of her songs, it turns out her performance was caught on film and posted online. Her video soon goes viral. Now, Katie has to navigate not just her emotions about her parents' divorce and her mother's new boyfriend but also the effect of the pressures of fame on her day-to-day life. Levy's writing style is realistic and relatable, and Katie is a likable heroine. The plot is straightforward and easy to follow, and there's just enough drama to keep readers hooked.
VERDICT Purchase for collections where light realistic fiction is in high demand.
