Fame School No.06 Lucky Break

Marmalade - named after his bright orange hair - is one of the best dancers at Rockley Park, the school for up-and-coming stars. But he's also the class clown, and things get out of hand when a new boy arrives and Marmalade starts to show off even more than usual. It looks as though he's heading for a fall - literally! Could this really be Marmalade's lucky break? Who remembers Fame on television? Even those who are too young will be pleased to welcome Cindy Jefferies' new Fame School series, which will follow Chloe and her friends from their acceptance at Rockley Park School to eventual fame (maybe). The glittery jackets will attract girls who are drawn to follow in Chloe's footsteps. The series has its practical side. Jefferies' children are involved in the music business and she has learned from their experiences. The message is positive and helpful; the story is fast-moving, involving and sure enough to leave readers eager for more. * Adele Geras, TES *
