Synopsis

Polly Price didn't think it was possible for her actress mother, Arabella Diamonte, to be any more embarrassing than on the trip to San Francisco last summer. That is until she agrees to take part in a television programme called Celebrity Home Watch and a camera crew arrives at their home to film. Her mother lacks volume control at the best of times, so this is truly a reality tv nightmare - with no escape for Polly!

Dee Shulman has created a real hit for young readers with her charming full-colour illustrations and interactive concept.

About this title

Review

"What a darling book! The illustrations alone are worth a look at this book. I had a little giggle on each page with the pictures. Very cute!

It is written just like a journal. Full of marked out mistakes, and taped in keepsakes. This promises to be a fun read for any tween. I enjoyed it immensely! Go check it out!" (The Sweet Bookshelf)

"I really loved the format of Reality TV Nightmare. The diary entries were interspersed will full colour doodles, photographs of Polly's friends and pictures from her magazines. Even her writing had spelling mistakes and crossings out. A completely authentic tween diary. This is a short, sweet and very funny diary perfect for young teen or tween girls. Pure fun!" (So Many Books, So Little Time)

"Reality TV Nightmare was a fun, fizzy read with the most fantastic illustrations and young readers protagonist. I was swept up in the enjoyment of turning each page in this hilarious visual delight. I absolutely loved the format of this book. Each page had many gorgeously colourful illustrations and interactive concepts, it was very hard to put it down. This is not a book I would usually pick up so I advise everyone who wouldn't to do so, as I guarantee you that you won't be dissapointed." (Sasha Clarke The Sweet Bonjour)
