Teen Idol

Reader reviewed by Brooke

What can I say, another Meg Cabot hit. This time, the book is about a high school student named Jenny who is in charge of keeping the identity of a movie star, Luke, secret, while he comes to her school to experience high school life for an upcoming role. This book has a little bit of everything. Romance,comedy, and just plain fun. If you love Meg Cabot's work you'll be please with Teen Idol, too. And, this book is appropriate for all ages!

Teen Idol by Meg Cabot was a fairly predictable book. It was about a junior, Jenny Greenley, who was friends with just about everyone in her school. She was on the school's newspaper. She also knew how to solve, just about everyone's problems. When she was called to the guidance counselor's office, she was given a special task. The next day, she met Luke Striker, new teen heart-throb. She learned a few things about Luke and about herself. Meg Cabot had some every day issues teens have now, and that is what I liked about her books. She knew exactly what some problems teens were going through, and I could relate to them. In this book, I related a lot with Jenny, but some of the problems were dragged on a little too much, and some solutions were rushed. During part of the book, I was bored and had the urge to skip the pages. All-in-all, the book was fairly good, just not one of her best books that I've read.

Teen Idol was one of many great books from Meg Cabot.My favorite part was when you find out Luke liked Scott's ex. It was much better then the Princess Diaries series. In fact, I liked it sooo much that I must of re-read it a dozen times!

this book was ok, it was about a young teen named Jenny in a rupulsing high school. Luke Striker, a major A-List superstar, is coming to her school in order to research on a role he will be playing. It shows people that you have to stand up to yourselves/other people and not always be Miss Goody-two-shoes...it doesnt change anything to be that way.

This book is about a girl named Jenny. It all starts when the school oficials decide to let a movie star into the school so he can researtch for his latest movie..and tells Jenny to keep him under her wing.
All goes well until the car wash day arrives. Luke strips off his shirt and the horrible tattoo reveals all. Luke's identidy is blown and he has fans clamouring for attention.
In this book Jenny learns how to influence change, find true love as well as stuff a expensive hideous dress into the garbage nbin
I reccomend this book to anyone who enjoyed the Princess Diaries.

This book was one of Meg Cabot's best so far, since the original Princess Diaries. I was very impressed and loved the storyline. It was a bit outrageous, but also real at the same time. And I loved the main character, Jenny Greenley. She's the girl-next-door type. Everyone at school likes her. She's nice to everybody. She's secretly the Ask Annie of the school newspaper and always gives out real, true, and good advice. But then the school staff chooses her to cover up for superstar actor, Luke Striker, and pretend he's an exchange student. Really he's here to study for a role for an upcoming movie. Jenny feels like she can't handle all this pressure, the advice column, and singing with the school choir, which she despises doing, but only does because of her best friend. Then she has mixed feelings about Scott. Everything is getting out of hand, also, when Luke's true identity is revealed. This book has lessons to teach also, about making a difference for the better and helping others. Also to not push away feelings of true love. Things should be out in the open and not kept hidden inside. That's the only way to make things right. This book was so good and kept me hooked. You must read it right away! Meg Cabot rules!

Teen Idol is one of Meg Cabot's best works. Her character seems more realistic and believable than her Princess Diaries main character, Mia. Mis always seemed like a teenage stereotype to me and in a way it made the author seem as though she was gently poking fun at her readers. However this character seems well-rounded and realistic.
The storyline is intriguing and while it's obvious who the main character will end up with, the fun part is trying to figure out who the "Teen Idol" will wind up dating. It's a fun read that I recommend to readers of the Princess Diary series.

This book was okay! I paid twenty dollars for this book and really thought it was one of Meg's worst books! I love Meg Cabots The Princess Diaries, All American Girl, and The mediator series, but this book didn't do much for me.

Jenny Greenley is the mayonnaise the girl who keeps everyone together. Teachers and parents see her as the typical good neighbor type of girl who would never get in trouble. This is why when superstar and hottie Luke Striker comes to Clayton High to research the part for his next big hit, Jenny is chosen to guide him around and make sure his identity stays secret. At the same time, she has another big secret: shes the Annie of the Ask Annie column. Shes great at giving advice, but deep down she wishes someone could give her advice at times. As she gets to know Luke, who has been going by the name Lucas Smith, he figures her out a lot more easily than she wouldve thought. Hes got her personality nailed and is the only person who ever thought she really could do more for the school and the people there. Now its up to her to decide whether or not to take the advice, while still dealing with her own problems surrounding her love life.
Ive always liked Meg Cabots books and really liked the Princess Diaries. When I read the Mediator series, I liked them more than the Princess Diaries and didnt think her writing could get much better. I was wrong. Teen Idol was by far better than the Princess Diaries and is even a little better than the Mediator books. It has got to be Meg Cabots best book yet. This story was very well written and I really enjoyed the Ask Annie advice columns in between each chapter. Annie/Jens responses were blunt and unique, yet so true and such good advice. Lukes character was well planned out and will be found to be a very interesting character since hes far from the expected egotistical movie star. My favorite character, though, has got to be Scott. He interested me from the first we learned about him: his witty responses, genuine care for others, interest in Sci-Fi and more. Between Luke and Scott, almost every female who reads this book will fall in love with one of the characters. Teen Idol by Meg Cabot is a must read for all!
