(3) 4-6 Fame-hungry eleven-year-old Jermaine thinks producing her own reality show is her ticket to Hollywood--if only her life in rural Maine weren't so uneventful. Jermaine's lack of scruples in creating sticky situations for her family may disallow readers from connecting with her, but it helps to hammer home the ultimate lesson about exploitation in this timely, humorous novel.
