My Life series by Chloë Rayban
Age range: young teen
My Life Starring Mum
Imagine being born the daughter of a mega-star : massively rich, unbelievably famous and constantly stalked by the press. Meet Hollywood Bliss Winterman (Holly to her friends) who's the daughter of pop-idol Kandhi.
So what does a girl do when she's trapped in the ultra-luxurious Royal Trocadero Hotel? When her mum wants to turn her into a mini version of herself - but she wants to be a vet? And when the only boy she sees is her least favourite person in the world - the son of Khandi's new love, heart-throb, Oliver Bream?
Chloë Rayban's novel is a satire on celebrity that has been waiting to happen. Mothers and daughters are often at odds but put them in a celebrity setting -
and you are in for comedy pyrotechnics.

“Young people, especially those with distracted, highly driven parents, may see themselves in Holly, who struggles against her mother's ambitions and her own
healthy cynicism to discover herself.” BOOKLIST
