Description

Emerald Johnston, who is destined to be a pop star, finally gets her big break, but can she make it to the top without losing the people she loves along the way?

Quick Summary

Emerald Johnston is ready to trade her small town dreams for big stage stardom, but fame comes with a price she never expected. Kids will root for Emerald as she navigates backstage drama, learns that popularity means nothing without loyal friends, and discovers that staying true to yourself is harder than any spotlight. If your kid loves books like "Front Desk" by Kelly Yang or "Allergic" by Megan Wagner Lloyd, where ordinary kids chase extraordinary dreams while facing real friendship struggles, they'll absolutely devour this. Perfect for fourth through sixth graders who enjoy stories about following their passions without losing themselves along The Way to Treasure Island.
