After reading the first book, Amy Peppercorn: Starry Eyed and Screaming, I was totally hooked. Its a great fell good book, but things change just like that, and it tells a great tale of Amy Peppercorn. Troubles and torments, through life's ups and downs. Just a great read!

When are people going to sit up in their chairs and take notice of this remarkable writer? His prose is wonderful, his characters deeply envisioned and his stories gripping. Amy brings a lump to your throat, she is so brilliantly realised. More than a lump. She is a wonderfully, honestly, daringly, topical heroine. Why isn't this book on the Carnegie award list?

When I first looked at this book, I thought "Well I'll try it, but I don't think it will be anything special". But I was VERY wrong!!! As they say - don't judge a book by it's cover - literally! Inside this book is an amazing story - funny and emotional at the same time.
It's about a girl who joins a band with two boys, her best friend and her best friend's horrible cousin, Kirsty. Her best friend Beccs is being made a real girly-girl by Kirsty, who is trying to get Beccs to be her best friend instead. They do thier first gig and it's a BIG hit! So they try for stardom, and go to a recording studio. But there's a few big twists on the way and everything changes. The people around her are changing, her life is changing and she is changing. I was finding myself staying up late just to finish the chapter, only to find I couldn't stop without reading the next chapter and the next!
I would recommend this book to anyone of about 12+. It is fast-moving, exciting and a real must-read.
