Narration Toward Books Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List
A PC school principal turns West Side Story into a comedy of errors.Sixteen year-old Jessica dreams of Hollywood fame, and when Jordan moves into her small town, she dreams of him too. He's a movie star's son, and hey, he's gorgeous to boot. Jordan has always wanted to get out from the shadow cast by his superstar father, but now that he and his mother have moved so far away from LA, how can he get his divorced parents back together? Jessica convinces Jordan the way to get his father to come for a long visit is to be a part of the school play. And if she's "discovered" in the process, all the better. Things go wrong when she lets Jordan's secret identity slip, and grow even more disastrous when the principal tries to change West Side Story into a gangfree, violence-free, politically correct production.
In the same romantic and sharply witty spirit of Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws, Janette Rallison delivers another comic gem that teen readers are sure to love.

The School Play (West Side Story) part was HILARIOUS. I was actually laughed out loud. I literally had tears in my eyes. Andre and Tye were so funny. The Mary vs. Lauren cat fight was classic. Jessica is a true hero. I read a whole new rendition of west side story, which i LOVED. Janette Rallison is a GENIOUS. Love love love this book.I know I can never go wrong with a Janette Rallison book. I know I can buy her books without reading them before hand. I always know that her books will be fun and clean. This was another book.The first 16 pages were laugh out loud funny for me. I have to admit I was a little frustrated with Jessica for a little while. I love her comments throughout the book. I often had a smile on my face. Who knew West Side Story, Wal-mart, and a Honda Civic with starter problems could be so humorous and
This has always been one of my favorites of Rallison's. The names especially are endearing to me, Jessica and Jordan. Jessica, who works where I work, thinks the way I think, and is clumsy the way I'm clumsy, bless her heart. And Jordan who loses his man earring to impress her. I ship that.
This book was actually pretty funny! Especially at the end. Yes, it was a quick read (and I do mean REALLY quick) but it had all the Janette Rallison wit of her longer books. :)
Now that I look back on reading this book...it's probably my second favorite book of hers I've read so far, behind the Mall one. Maybe it's because I like the cover of the Mall one better. Maybe not. Still has a love story...so obviously readable.
This was definitely not my favorite Rallison book. I didn't like that the guy and the girl liked each other so fast, broke up so fast, and then spent much longer not talking. Then after they got over their fight, they were in love and they hardly knew each other before! Plus, there was a little too much high school drama without enough of the funny writing that I like
