Description
Everyone agrees that the paparazzi are the scourge of the earth. They're low. They're despicable. They'll do anything for that perfect shot. And yet...how long could you go without your Us Weekly fix? Meet Josephine Foster, or 'Zo Jo as she's called in the biz. The best pint-sized photographer of them all, Jo knows that the public-and the stars-have a symbiotic relationship with the paparazzi. She doesn't mind doing what it takes to get that perfect shot, until she's sent on a major undercover assignment to shoot Ned Hartnett-teen superstar and the only celebrity who's ever been kind to her-at an exclusive rehabilitation retreat. The money will be enough to pay for Jo's dream: fine portrait photography classes, and maybe even quitting her 'zo gig for good. Everyone at the retreat wants to know: what Ned's in for? But Jo certainly doesn't know what she's in for: falling in love with Ned was never supposed to be part of her assignment ...
Reviews / Votes
Advance Praise for Shooting Stars "With the perfect amount of sass, humor, fun, and sweetness, Allison Rushby delivers a delicious story about a young and spunky paparazzo one can't help but adore." -Lindsay Eland, author of Scones and Sensibility "More delicious than a celebrity gossip magazine, Shooting Stars has soul, wit, and a main character you'll root for all the way. Don't be camera shy: READ THIS BOOK." -Lindsey Leavitt, author of the Princess for Hire series "Sharp, funny, and very, very wise... A must-read for today's celebrity-obsessed generation." -Amanda Ashby, author of Fairy Bad Day and Zombie Queen of Newbury High "I felt like I'd been dropped right onto Hollywood Boulevard, amidst super cute stars and their spicy secrets. Shooting Stars is smart, sweet, and spunky." -Miranda Kenneally, co-founder of www.DearTeenMe.comMore details

Person
ALLISON RUSHBY, having failed to become a ballerina with pierced ears (her childhood dream), tried writing instead. This has worked out much better for her, since it means she gets to write off her book and DVD purchases at tax time and eat a lot more than a ballerina ever could. She is the author of four teen novels and five adult novels, all published by Random House in Allison's native Australia. She Twitters regularly and blogs at www.AllisonRushby.com. Oh, and she got the pierced ears in the end.
