    About this audiobook

    Fifteen-year-old Wonder Blake and her family are trying to recover from the death of Wonder's older sister Lucky, who was about to sign a major record deal when she died. When Lucky's talent manager runs into Wonder at the Dairy Queen where she works, her life takes a dramatic turn--suddenly, despite her own ambivalence, she is the one signing the record deal. Transformed into a teen idol and thrust into the spotlight, Wonder learns what it takes to be a star--and also what it costs. The new world she has entered will leave her forever changed.

      Wonder Blake has a background in children’s television (a local Kids Inc.) and a family that’s falling apart after her sister died. Plus they have moved to a Cape Cod town where Wonder is hated for what she is and is not. So when she is discovered by her sister’s agent singing in a Dairy Queen, she jumps at the chance to change her life. However, some of the changes may prove to be too much for Wonder. Cohn does a great job exposing the seaminess of the music industry and the hard work that goes into becoming a star. While Wonder has natural talent, her stardom doesn’t happen in a day or even in a semester. It also exposes how people have to re-make themselves over and over to fit the latest trends, and hide who they really are to be popular. This book was really good, and I found myself really liking Wonder. However, there is sex involved that seems a little gratuitious – Wonder almost has sex with a guy from her local town, but when she doesn’t put out, he gets together with someone else. Then she does end up having sex with someone she thinks she loves. But Cohn makes you love Wonder and root for her, no matter what.

      If you like like books about peer pressure about being person you dont want to be. If you like books that are about glamour life and the music biz and then finding out what you really want to do than you will like this book.
    • 4/5
      Decent read! Don't be put off because it deals with pop music, this gives you an interesting viewpoint on Pop Princesses and what it takes to make it in the music industry. It's very strong on finding who you are, and doing things your way, but that comes later in the book. Good read.

      Wonder Blake tragically lost her sister, Lucky, in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. Her family is falling apart from their loss. Lucky, who had just been signed as a pop star, is an inspiration to her sister. Wonder follows in her footsteps, making decisions good and bad along the way, as she makes her way from high school reject to Pop Princess, and from childhood to adulthood. I loved this book. Wonder's dialogue is realistic, peppered with references to pop culture, and cutely incorporates accents and slang. She is mark-on in her descriptions and interpretations of others, and is a nice mix of sweet and sassy. This is a great read for a young adult, but be warned that it does allude to a sex scene, even though she regrets if afterward. The trouble is that Wonder seems to feel hormonally compelled to "hook up" with guys, and it would take a mature teen reader to understand what's really going on.
