Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Jessica and Eva Ortiz are separated for the first time since moving to put Eva closer to the acting business. While Eva is continuing with her acting, Jessica is forced to attend the posh school in the neighborhood, full of the children of rich people. Unfortunately, Jess doesn't exactly fit in, and her shy-girl exterior has surfaced once again. But that's not all. Pictures are disappearing from everyone's lockers - and all fingers point to her. STAR QUALITY is, hands down, the best book of THE HOLLYWOOD SISTERS series so far. The plot has moved away from the drama surrounding the set of Two Sisters and romance to something everyone, no matter who they are, can relate to - school and fitting in. Though Eva continues as her famous self, Jess becomes even more realistic in this book, and I really think it added so much more to the story. For those who enjoy the romance in the series - don't worry! The romance is still there, though it's not such a major part of the plot. Once again, I recommend this to all tween and young teen girls. It will make for a fun, enjoyable, and semi-fast read that isn't just your normal drama. Reviewed by: Harmony

Schools and Sisters

The Hollywood Sisters are Eva, famous for her role on a hit TV show, and Jessica, who would rather live her life off-camera. STAR QUALITY is the fourth book in The Hollywood Sisters line. More time is spent with Jess at her new all-girls school than with Eva on set, allowing the younger sister to shine in her own way. She never uses Eva's superstar status to get in with the popular crowd, and, when she is accused of stealing pictures from the other girls' lockers, she manages to clear her name. The Hollywood Sisters books are cute, clean, and fast reads. You don't have to read the books in order, but I recommend doing so. Give the series to young readers who want a little mystery, a little glamour, and a lot of fun.
