Sixteen-year-old Amy Peppercorn has a lot to scream about. She's struggling with her A-Levels and coping with her two-year-old sisters while her parents tear each other apart. Her best friend is being lured away from her. Then Amy falls under the spell of cool, elusive Ben and joins his band. Winning his approval means careering through the streets in a stolen car, skipping school, and staying out late. Amy could be in trouble. But she leaves the band behind. She's not like the others. She's going to be a pop sensation. At the end of a stunning novel that packs a huge emotional punch, she is on the brink of stardom - but knows there will be a terrible price to pay. J Brindley is a compelling and very distinctive writer with terrific insight into teenage relationships, hopes and fears. He writes brilliantly about the pop world and the dangerous world of joyriding and police chases. This is a must-read.

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?

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.
