About This Book
The roar of a luxury car engine fills the warm LA air, mixing with the chatter of flashing cameras and the scent of expensive perfume. Bentley Royce seems to have it all — fame, fancy vacations, and a family caught in the spotlight. But when their reality show might end, Bentley faces a tough choice: save the show or save her family—and things get way more real than any camera could catch.
Quick Assessment
This middle-grade novel follows sixteen-year-old Bentley Royce, who has grown up on her family's reality TV show and now faces the challenge of preserving both her family's fame and their relationships as their show faces cancellation. The story explores themes of family dynamics, celebrity culture, and personal growth with humor and a satirical tone. Suitable for ages 9-12, it contains light references to family conflict and media scrutiny but no intense content.
