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.List Epithetical Books Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List

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 andThis 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.
I'm still not sure if this is a 3 star or 4 star book...I like Janette Rallison's books, but she does have the annoying habit of putting her characters in the most embarressing and unbelievable situations possible. This book is not big at all, but it literally took me a week to read because I had to keep putting it down because I couldn't believe what was happening to the main character, Jessica. I don't know if I just felt so bad for Jessica, or if I just couldn't believe how many problems and
November 2011: I was looking for something light-hearted to read today and this was the perfect fit. A fun read with a little romance thrown in. August 2009: So, the first chapter was probably the funniest Ive read in a long time. Rallison is the queen of coming up with and writing awkward situations. She probably topped the first chapter with the second to last chapter, in which I was literally laughing out loud. This was a fun story, Im not much of a drama person, but I really enjoyed this
I love Janette Rallison (and her books ;) ). They're teen books, which I usually don't read, but they aren't petty teen books. The characters always learn a lesson and it works out in the end. If I need a pick-me-up, I read a Rallison.More Detailed review here:http://squeakybooks.blogspot.com/2008...
Another read at the request of my daughter who loves Janette Rallison's books. Super funny voice in this one. Very cute.
3.5 starsOkay, so one of my favorite things about Janette Rallison is that she writes about these shallow characters (most of whom are regulation hotties) and makes me root for them.Anyway, this book had me laughing out loud on the plane, so yay for that.
