The New and Improved Vivien Leigh Reid: Diva in Control by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout
The further adventures of Vivien Leigh Reid, teen actress.
All right, so she blew it! The last time she was in front of the camera, she acted like a total diva and ended up losing the gig. But now the new and improved Vivien Leigh Reid is back in L.A. for Thanksgiving and determined to make it right. While helping her mother plan for her wedding, Leigh unexpectedly lands a featured role in a new television series, and this time she is going to keep her inner diva in control.
It may not be easy as she hoped, though. The all-male cast of Freak Force, an action-adventure series about superhumanoids, isn’t exactly thrilled to have a girl on board. Add that to the demands of her mother, who is quickly turning into Bridezilla, and a wicked soon-to-be stepsister, and Leigh’s newfound cool may really be put to the test.
“Fans of Meg Cabot’s “The Princess Diaries” series will enjoy the inside look at life among the famous and identify with Leigh’s romantic travails.” — School Library Journal review
