Boy Band Blues by Kelly Mckain
This is Lucy Jessica Hartley bringing you a very important newsflash!!! I have just been asked to style a boy band for a charity concert at school! I'm mega-excited about it - shame that Wayne Roman, the lead singer, is such a totally horrible big-head. Anyway, I've got billions of ideas for the band's stage gear, so I'd better go and get started! Byeeeeee! Share the sizzling secrets of very-nearly-teenager Lucy Jessica Hartley as magic spells, mad dads and massive crushes all stand in the way of her styling success!
After her fashion competition success, Lucy Jessica Hartley has music on the mind in her latest brash, sassy diary adventureFrivolous holiday fun ... just what we all need. * Funday Times *
Girls will go totally wild for Totally Lucy. * Damian Kelleher, Children's Publishing Consultant *
The "totally secret" diary of an "almost-a-teenager" Lucy, "stylist" to the stars of the school "Battle of the Bands" competition – definitely not my usual reading choice! (It took me a little while to work out just what a "stylist" is, for a start – apparently they have them on Pop Idol…) Anyway, Lucy’s "Best Friends Forever" help her through an ill-advised crush on the band’s lead singer, to their own triumph in the competition. Once I got past the distinctly pink cover, the groovy cartoons and the "contemporary" language style, I really enjoyed this. It’s funny and warm; it deals with friendship, loyalty, the confusions of teen-life, relationships with parents, and among all the fashion and "styling" stuff (still can’t take that seriously) tells you that it’s OK to be you, and that people aren’t always as you expect. Very readable. * Annabel Gibb, Books for Keeps *
Tweenagers everywhere will be able to identify with Lucy’s bra-size embarrassment, lack of periods, parent troubles, best-friend dilemmas and secret crush crises. Funky fonts and sketch-style pictures add to the overall "diary" feel of the book, and Boy Band Blues offers readers a frivolous and fun read, aimed at girls in Key Stages 2 and 3. * Karen Saunders, Write Away! *
