The Fame Game (by Lea Sulzbacher, 2C)
The title of the book is “The Fame Game”. It was written by Philip Dart in 2009/10.
The story takes place in a casting show in England. The book is about friendship and auditions.
The main characters are Chloe and Davy. They are both 16 years old, attractive and Davy is Chloe´s boyfriend. Davy dreams of being a famous popstar.
Firstly, Davy persuades Chloe to accompany him to a casting show. But only his girlfriend makes it to the next stages and starts a solo career. To make her life more interesting for the journalists, Chloe has to split up with Davy and she has to pretend to be a recovering anorexic. From then on “Starmaker” takes over her life and changes Chloe completely. Unluckily, Davy tells the truth about Chloe
to a reporter. And, unfortunately, Chloe´s career is ruined. Finally they make up and become good friends again. Chloe goes back to school and Davy will attend a Performing Arts College.
In my point of view the book was great and easy to read. I really can recommend that book. It taught me to be honest to my friends!
