Victoria Justice: Television's It Girl

(4) 4-6 Pop Culture Bios: Superstars series. These biographies of young actors and musicians chronicle their subjects' lives and careers in casual, conversational text that will appeal to tweens. Each book touches on its star's struggles (Lovato's eating disorder, Thorne's dyslexia), introduces industry lingo (callback, one-hit wonder), and features plenty of glossy photos. Fans probably won't learn anything new in these superficial profiles. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Pop Culture Bios: Superstars titles: Bella Thorne, Carly Rae Jepsen, Cody Simpson, The Wanted, Demi Lovato, and Victoria Justice.
