Amy is an overnight sensation. She is top of the pops. She's abandoned school and A levels for a five year contract with Solar Records and a punishing regime of dance routines and singing lessons, endless rehearsals and her first tour. It's a huge success. But in the middle of all the glamour and fame, Amy has never felt so utterly lonely. Geoff is dead and Ben is on remand. She seems to be losing her best friend Beccs and even Mum is slipping out of reach. That's when Jag - one of her dancers - comes into her life. It seems as though he's the answer to her dreams and Amy clings to him desperately. But will her dreams turn into nightmares? There are certainly some big surprises in store. J Brindley has written a heart-searching, page-turning sequel to 'Amy Peppercorn: Starry-eyed and screaming' which once again packs a massive emotional punch.

Review
"Brindley sensitively unwraps the myths of fame, revealing that having everything can mean losing what you most value." www writeaway.org.uk
From the Back Cover
Sixteen-year-old Amy Peppercorn has a lot to scream about. Her best friend Beccs is being lured away by that hateful boy beacon, Kirsty. School sucks. Her family are impossible to live with. Know the feeling?
Then - although she SO didn't mean to - she falls under the spell of the cool, irresistible Ben and joins his band. Everything changes.
Because Amy's scream is her fortune. She's going to be a pop sensation and she's on her way.
As John Brindley charts her road to fame there is glitz and excitement. But secrets and startling revelations also unfold in a story that packs a huge emotional punch.
Stardom has its price - how much will Amy pay? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliantl realistic,
By Family "Ian H" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amy Peppercorn (Paperback)
This is such a realistic book. It isn't just about an ordinary girl who lands the popstar's job, Amy Peppercorn is a fiery, emotional, totally believable character. John Brindley writes very convincingly, he describes the ups and downs of fame, the family problems, and the feeling of betrayal which is really only emphasised in this third book. I first read it when I was nine or so and I didn't understand it, but now I'm 13 I find it so true!!

Ok, nothing special.,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Amy Peppercorn: Starry-Eyed and Screaming (Paperback)
Amy Peppercorn is about a normal girl who suddenly becomes a pop star. The story is simple, easy to read. However, it isn't memorable- at all. Recommend to borrow from your local library-save your money.
