Reality has never been so complicated
Fed up with her parents and all their ridiculous rules,
fifteen-year-old Kendra Bishop writes to The Black Sheep, a
reality TV show that offers the chance to swap families with another
teen. But when the camera crew, led by brash TV producer Judy
Greenberg, shows up at her Manhattan apartment, Kendra starts to
have second thoughts.
Too late. Kendra is whisked away to Monterey, California, to live
with the Mulligan family in a household that couldn't be more
different from her own Â-complete with hippie parents, five kids and
a pet ferret. Given the chance, Kendra might just be able to juggle
first love, her new stardom, and a pushy producer who will stop at
nothing for higher ratings . . .
'[A] cheery fish-out-of-water romance... Kendra's bright and breezy
first-person narration moves things along at a rapid clip and the
larger-than-life personalities and plot are balanced by her heartfelt
reflections on family and fame' Publisher's Weekly
