ALL THAT GLITTERS is definitely not gold as Mallory struggles to control the runaway train that is her brand-new soap opera. At the end of Likely Story, Mallory had just learned that her TV show was greenlit, but that her mother, and arch enemy, was being brought in to play one of the main characters. Now, as production gears up for the broadcast premier, Mallory finds herself fighting off take-over attempts (by her mother), trying to keep unhappy teen-star Dallas under control (if they won’t let him quit, he’ll do whatever it takes to get fired), and just trying to keep her head above water, both on the set and in high school. She’s ready to walk away from all of it, just to have a “normal” teenager’s life, but how can you walk away from something that won’t let you leave?

      Gr 6-9-The saga of Mallory, a 16-year-old soap-opera prodigy who has begun production on her very own daytime show, continues. Life in the soap-opera production world has plenty of drama. Her leading man is trying to get himself fired, and her mother (a former soap star whose show was canceled so that Mallory's could be produced) is "spicing up" her role in the show with the support of the network execs. These same biggies want Mallory to "punch up" the show and make it more melodramatic, her real-life boyfriend is jealous of the leading male, and her former best friend is doing everything she can to make Mallory's life miserable. What's a girl to do? Well, she could try blackmail and kidnapping to make sure her show gets on the air. With more twists, turns, and intrigue than a daytime soap, this novel is great fun, and, of course, leaves readers with a "stay tuned tomorrow" ending. Written by David Levithan, David Ozanich, and Chris Van Etten, this sequel to "Likely Story" (Knopf, 2008) is sure to be a hit."Janet Hilbun, Texas Woman's University, Denton"

      Sixteen-year-old Mallory, head writer on a soap opera she developed, is worried that her vision of a realistic show will be compromised when the network demands more spice. Meanwhile, in real life, she juggles her demanding job, boyfriend, mother, and jealous ex-best friend. Too many characters clutter the story, but solid writing and plenty of drama keep it interesting.
