Synopsis
Taryn Beck and her family don’t have much, and her younger brother needs vital medication to survive. Medication they can’t access or afford. So Taryn secretly enters Starmaker, the most watched reality TV show in the world.
The rules are simple; young women from all over the globe compete to join an all-singing, all-dancing pop group. If you win, a life of luxury, stardom and wealth awaits . . . But there’s a catch. Eliminated contestants are literally eliminated.
Taryn soon realises that reality TV is far from real. She and her fellow trainees are pitted against each other in cruel challenges and she is determined to expose the brutal regime and destroy Starmaker from the inside.
Get ready for the performance of Taryn’s life.
The explosive new YA novel from Juno Dawson.
