Pop Princess - Softcover

When fifteen-year-old Wonder Blake is plucked from her job at the Dairy Queen and given the chance to be a teen idol, it seems like a dream come true - even if it wasn't her dream, but her older sister, Lucky's... Lucky was on her way to becoming a pop star when she died, and Wonder and her family are still trying to recover from their loss. Offered a recording contract, Wonder jumps at the chance to escape from a dead-end town, her fractured family and, worst of all, high school. Suddenly she has it all: a hot new look, a chart-busting hit single, and a tour opening up for superstar, Kayla. But stardom isn't all glamour - it's hard work - and it's especially tough trying to find a guy who likes her just for herself...
