I tried to get a middle schooler to read this and give me her opinion. She couldn't do more than a few chapters, deeming it "too girly." So I started it at lunch yesterday and finished it last night. Wonder Blake is 15 and working at Dairy Queen when her older sister's manager "discovers" her singing and dancing with a mop. Since Lucky was killed by a drunk driver two years earlier, the entire Blake family has been sleepwalking through life. Wonder's journey through life, including sudden pop princess stardom, is actually an interesting one. There are some romance readers who would definitely enjoy the relationships Wonder has in this book . . .
