Million Dollar Girl

Review "Fans of The Princess Diaries will love Million Dollar Girl. Debut author Wilde [Crystal Hubbard] combines the trials of high school with larger-than-life situations to craft a romantic tale that will appeal to both the young and the young at heart." - Gina Bernal, Romantic Times Book Reviews Magazine"Emy Okiwe is a girl in high school that is in every high school; she does not fit the norm. Emy is very quiet and introverted. Logan Madddox is a star, really; he's just finished a ten year sitcom and now he wants to finish high school like a regular guy. Emy is asked to tutor Logan. Sparks do not fly immediately - there is no rationale as to why Emy is so introverted but Logan breaks through. Mz. Wilde delivers a great story that mixes the life of a teen in high school with the life of a celebrity. There is a nice cultural mix in the story as Emy is Italian and Native American heritage. Logan's story as a celeb kid is also very real with material fixated parents and a sleeze of an agent! Logan, the celebrity wants the simplicity of what Emy has. Emy has to embrace her own talents and self esteem. This book is a great story to discuss with teens about ethnicity, self esteem, family and the impact of making choices. Great read with strong characters and a good plot!" Denise Bolds, Amazon.com Vine Voice Product Description When sitcom star Logan Maddox enrolls at Prescott High School to live his senior year as a "normal" teenager, his presence sends the school into a frenzy -- with one exception. Introverted Emy Okiwe, a bookworm with a penchant for photography is unimpressed with the handsome young celebrity. Assigned to tutor him, Emy builds a friendship with Logan, drawing him into her quiet world of school and family, which becomes Logan's refuge from constant media attention and his materialistic parents. When Hollywood comes knocking with a prized movie role and a million dollar payday, Logan is forced to make a decision: pursue his dream of furthering his acting career or abandon the happiness he's found with Emy.
