Descrição da editora
Twelve-year-old Mackenzie "Mac" Lowell's dreams have come true. Thanks to her mom scoring the coolest job EVER, Mac is going from boy band fanatic to official tour member of her favorite group, Perfect Storm. Good thing she's brought along her journal so she can record every moment, every breath, and every one of lead singer Zander Welling's killer smiles in written detail and daydreamy doodles.
But between a zillion tour stops and pranks gone wrong, Zander and his fellow band members, Heath Holland and Kyle Beyer, become more like brothers to Mac. When the boys' differences start to drive them apart, can Perfect Storm's biggest fan remind them why they'reperfect together? It'll be up to Mac--and her comic-book alter ego, Mac Attack--to keep the band together and on the road to stardom
Chronicling her experiences on tour, Mac's journal springs to life with black-and-white illustrations and comic-book panels throughout its pages.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Calonita (Flunked) targets Directioners and other boy band devotees with this effervescent first book in the V.I.P. series. Twelve-year-old Mackenzie Lowell and her two best friends live for the band Perfect Storm and are dying to see them in concert. Mac also loves drawing comics about her alter ego Mac Attack, who is part of a crime-fighting girl band (Gudsnuk, creator of the Henchgirl webcomic, provides exuberant comics sequences and spot illustrations throughout). Mac's dreams of someday marrying her Perfect Storm crush, Zander, become just slightly more plausible after Mac's mother announces that she has been asked to manage Perfect Storm on tour, and Mac will be coming along. While Mac's embarrassment over a poster and poem she created for the band and a conflict within Perfect Storm provide tension, the real meat of this diary-style story lies in the behind-the-scenes details of life on tour, as well as Mac's relationships with the band members as she gets to know them as real people. Ages 8 12.
