Teen Zone Cd Books - Main Level - CABOT

Jen Greenley, 17 year old Junior at Clayton High School in Clayton Indiana, is the type of girl everyone wants to be friends with because she’s easygoing, cute, and nice to everyone. Jen never challenges the status quo, she sings in her school's show choir, and she even secretly dispenses advice in the "Ask Annie" column of her school's newspaper. Jen has the perfect life--or does she?

When Jen is put in charge of guiding the major motion picture teen star, Luke Striker (aka Lucas Smith), around Clayton High she isn't even excited. Jen is not interested in movie stars. She would rather read science fiction books than moon over the latest glossy pics in gossip magazines. Guiding undercover Luke around Clayton High is just another duty in Jen Greenley's predictable life. However, Jen is in for quite a surprise when Luke comes to town!

At first, Jen is able to keep Luke's true identity a secret, and she feels that her life will return to normal once Luke heads back to Hollywood. However, after a few days in Clayton, everyone in town finds out who Lucas Smith really is, and chaos ensues. All the girls in Clayton, including Jen's best friend Trina, want to date Luke, entertainment reporters camp out at Jen's house, and now Jen is going to the Spring Fling with Luke as her date! Will Jen's life ever go back to being normal again? Or maybe that normal isn't what Jen needs?

Teen Idol by Meg Cabot is a super engaging and funny book. The audio book version of this novel is delightfully read by Elizabeth Moss who expertly brings the characters of Clayton High to life. Teen Idol may not be thought-provoking literature, but if you are looking for a tall and refreshing glass of lemonade on a hot summer day, then this novel is your ticket!
