Solo Star

The Rising Stars concert is the highlight of the year at talent school Rockley Park. Chloe is desperate to take part - the show is going to be on TV and this could be her big break! So she's thrilled when she hears she's made the grade. The only trouble is she has to perform with a band, when she's always wanted to be a solo star. Will Chloe be able to shine onstage? 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. * TES *
