Product Description

Synopsis
Child soap-star, Ruby Parker, discovers being famous when you're a teenager isn't all it's cracked up to be. Spotty and gawky, all her fan mail is about viewers' problems - not how much they adore and fancy her! Ruby Parker has been acting in the glamorous soap, Kensington Heights, for most of her life. She is stunned when she overhears the script writers discussing whether to kill her character off, or to replace Ruby with a more beautiful actress! She has always felt like the ugly duckling compared to her stunning co-stars, but now more than ever she sees that everyone is disappointed how the cute, chubby dimpled four year old has morphed into a lumpy pimpled fourteen year old. Ruby is feeling more self-conscious than ever, and to top it all off, she discovers she's got to have her first screen kiss - with the oh-so-gorgeous Justin de Souza, the soap's hunk. What with dealing with fame on a national level, having her first ever kiss in front of cameras and dealing with everyone's jealousy at stage school, Ruby doesn't think things can get any harder. Then her parents give her the most unexpected (and worst) news yet!

1.0 out of 5 stars terible, 8 Jul 2007
By Kathleen T. Montaigue "me" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got half way through this book and realized it should be read by 7 year olds! I am 16 so didn't really get much out of it but wasn't going to stop reading half way through.
it is totally besides the point and has no depth "what so ever"!!!
not impressed at all, but for a chilled maybe I suppose.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely book, 29 Nov 2007
By H. Redfern (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ruby Parker: Soap Star (Paperback)
I thought this a lovely book about a soap star called Ruby Parker. As another reviewer has stated it isn't really aimed at the sixteen year old market, but for slightly younger readers it is perfect. Mind you, I'm well above the target market age and I still adored it!
