Synopsis
Regina Bloomsbury has just had a very bad day. Two members from her band, The Caverns, have decided to join another band. The news is devastating to Regina. The band is her life, she loves playing music. In that moment of frustration and sorrow comes a wish, “I wish I could be as famous as the Beatles.” The next morning Regina awakens to find herself in the middle of her wish. Not only is she as famous as the Beatles, she has replaced them! Their songs are her songs. She is famous and rich. She is living the dream in L.A. with a movie star boyfriend, talk shows, screaming fans and The Grammy Awards in her back pocket. Regina struggles to stay true to herself in the midst of fame. Her fairy Godmother gives her a choice. Replace the Beatles forever, or return home to the life she knew before.
What a fun book! I really enjoyed reading it and I finished it off in just a day. If you are Beatles fan, you will really love this story. It’s a great rock and roll story full of all the good and bad of the Hollywood scene and the struggles of a teenage girl to fit in and find what matters most in life. My one and only problem with the book was the few instances of swearing. I received this book as an ARC for review from the publisher. The book suggests a reading age group of 5th grade and up. Based on the language, I would recommend a high school reading level. This book will be available for purchase in February 2011.
