Sixteen year-old Jessica dreams of Hollywood fame, and when Jordan moves into her small town, she dreams of him too. He's a movie star's son, and hey, he's gorgeous to boot. Jordan has always wanted to get out from the shadow cast by his superstar father, but now that he and his mother have moved so far away from LA, how can he get his divorced parents back together? Jessica convinces Jordan the way to get his father to come for a long visit is to be a part of the school play. And if she's "discovered" in the process, all the better. Things go wrong when she lets Jordan's secret identity slip, and grow even more disastrous when the principal tries to change *West Side Story* into a gang-free, violence-free, politically correct production.
In the same romantic and sharply witty spirit of *Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws*, Janette Rallison delivers another comic gem that teen readers are sure to love.

This book went between “fun” and frustrating to me. Now I realize it was published in 2005, so some of the stuff that's just not cool now (like calling the boy character “exotic” because he had some Native American blood) was probably more acceptable, though not less wrong.
