Description
Charly St. James knows drama. Her home life—wretched. Her trip from Chicago to New York—disastrous. But she's about to put all that behind her. . . .
Charly's been waiting forever to put her acting skills to work, and now she's been cast on the reality show The Extreme Dream Team. In each episode, the show makes over some lucky person's life. Charly's feeling pretty lucky already—she's to play the sidekick to kind-hearted Annison, a former child star; gets to work with Liam, a delicious cutie who performs double duty as male co-star and eye candy; and Mason is finally her boyfriend for real. Then Annison gets sick and Charly has to step up. Suddenly she's TV's fave new It-girl and she's on fire. But behind the scenes, someone is set on changing Charly's life—and not for the better. . .

Praise For Kelli London
"An amazing tale that is sure to delight, teach, and intrigue teens everywhere!" —Ni-Ni Simone on Boyfriend Season
"Kelli reinvents the urban heroine—she's cuter, smarter, fearless. Excellent read." —Travis Hunter, author of On the Come Up

The uneven follow-up to Charly's Epic Fiascos (2012) shows determined and headstrong Charly trying to balance her newfound star status with her roots and responsibilities. Having escaped her Chicago-area hometown, Charly is living with her father in New York and auditioning for acting roles. Despite tactics readers will recognize as unprofessional (crashing a sitcom audition, Shih Tzu in hand, and improvising lines), Charly is invited to be part of The Extreme Dream Team, a reality show in which she and three other stars give "life makeovers" to deserving teens. The show takes Charly on a set of trips around the country, and there is plenty of boy drama as well as tension with a female co-star who may or may not have Charly's best interests in mind. Charly is still connected to her friends and sister from home, and some of the book's most poignant moments come as she tries to help her younger sister in the wake of their mother's neglect. Some of Charly's adventures, however, are a bit too predictable, and a conclusion in which one character's underhandedness is revealed feels abrupt and unconvincing. A fizzy and warmhearted take on teen stardom, but readers will have to work hard to suspend their disbelief. (Fiction. 12-16)COPYRIGHT(2013) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Gr 7 Up-Charly is independent, confident, full of sass, and a genuinely nice person. She has not always had the easiest life, but she goes after what she wants. She moved from Chicago to New York City in Charly's Epic Fiascos (Kensington, 2012) to pursue her dream of acting. After sneaking onto a movie set, the 16-year-old gets hired for a reality TV show. As she begins traveling for it, she discovers the difficulties of being on the road and dealing with the media while maintaining relationships with those she loves. Charly has three costars and knowing whom to trust is quite tricky. This is a quick read that won't win high marks for realism, but it should appeal to fans of the first book.-Jesten Ray, Seattle Public Library, WA
