Reputedly every pre-teen girl sings into her hairbrush in front of the mirror ¨ and a fair number of boys too. If this is so, Cindy Jeffries will sell huge numbers of her Fame School titles. There will be two more this year and there are another four in the pipeline.
Chloe has been told off at her primary school for singing too loudly in the choir and has no confidence in her ability as a result. But she has a huge natural range of several octaves and longs for nothing better than to be a pop star.
She and her best friend Jess have just started at the local comprehensive when an opportunity comes to apply for a sponsored place at Rockley Park. The first book takes us through the agonies of Chloe's audition and wait for her letter.
It's not giving the game away to say she gets in ¨ otherwise what would those other seven books be about? Book two sees Chloe at Rockley Park, without Jess, but sharing a room with twin models Pop and Lolly and the unfriendly Tara Fitzgerald (no relation).
Life is not all plain sailing and Chloe has problems unlocking her repressed voice. Her new friends think it might help to give her a fright, which leads to some high jinks in the dorm. It's all good light and frothy stuff, with a serious under layer about how hard it is to succeed in the industry. As those of us old enough to remember know, øFame costs...Ó With these books, I should think it might also pay quite well.
