Billy Smith, like
the rest of his family, has an ordinary name and lives an ordinary life.
However, things are soon to change when a documentary crew arrives at his
(ordinary) school to film a new TV series, School Daze. Billy’s class is
televised by the crew, and it is then that fame suddenly and unexpectedly lands
in his life – via social media -- as he reads an ordinary (boring) story about
his ordinary (boring) life. Thus, he accidently becomes an overnight star.
Billy and his
friends and family are caught in a whirlwind of red carpets, TV shows and
albums, and he looks forward to meeting the coolest girl on the planet –
Sunshine De Marto – who he reads about in his mother’s favourite women’s
magazine.
This story, which
is about fame and friendship, and has occasional black and white illustrations,
is likely to appeal to readers aged 8 to 12 years.
