Then it started to sag, loose focus, and even implode, much like what is happening to (and by) Justin Bieber, who is the loose role model of Jonny Valentine. ( ) How old were Justin Bieber and Judy Garland when their careers were launched? Poor Jonathan Valentino, an 11 year old with an angelic voice and a devilishly ambitious mother-manager, is on an arena tour across the US, with his bodyguard and tutor along to protect his physical and mental selves from scheming adults. What a pitiful, wretched life for a fifth grader, and yet Jonny Valentine, so very savvy and self-aware, is a sucker for his all-too-present mother and his all-too-absent father. Whenever he's given a chance to act his age, it backfires. Whenever he's involved with older people, he's exploited. And yet his essential goodness and honesty shine through in this gloomy road story. A remarkably nightmarish, only-could-happen-in-America, tale. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Called the angel of pop, 11-year-old megastar Jonny Valentine has everything but a father . . . and a childhood. Wayne's novel follows the preadolescent's national tour as he wows his tween fans (and the occasional adult predator) while secretly searching the Internet for his absent father, whom he hasn't seen since he was 5 or 6. In the meantime, his hard-partying mother, who doubles as his manager, is trying to ensure that the young star's career doesn't go into eclipse."--Booklist.
