Better off Famous, by Jane Mendle

Being famous is awesome, right? Well, I guess that you could say that birthday girl Annie Hoffman is going to New York for her birthday. That was all thanks to an aunt that Annie didn't know about. Her aunt's name was Alexandra. Aunt Alexandra sent Annie a plane ticket for her birthday so that way Annie could meet her. Since Annie played the violin, she decided to go to the Julliard auditions in this fancy place in New York. But then, a producer that was going to be shooting a movie called Country Day was asking Annie if she wanted to play as Berry Calvin; a violin playing, sassy girl. When Annie started to go through the life of being famous, she had realized that the publicity and cameras were watching Annie with every move thatshe did. So with the new clothes, new style, and possibly her new attitude, will Annie really wonder if she is better off famous?
