Synopsis

A brilliant new comedy drama from Jean Ure, all about the ups and downs of seeking fame.

Carmen is in Year 9 and has serious ambitions to be a rock star. She has a great voice, has taught herself to play the guitar, and with one of her best friends, Josh, actually writes her own songs. The school is having a Top Spot contest for would-be pop stars, and Carmen eagerly puts her name on the list. But when Carmen hears a spiteful girl at her school make comments about her weight, she bunks off school and swears she is never going back...

I was sooo excited when I heard about the school talent contest. I even wrote a special song with my friend Josh. but then the meanest girl in the universe called me a fat freak. I stormed out of school, and now I just don't want to go back ...
