Unscripted Joss Byrd

By Lygia Day Peñaflor

Book Overview

No one cares how you get the shot, as long as you get it.

Hollywood critics agree. Joss Byrd is "fiercely emotional," a young actress with "complete conviction," and a "powerhouse."

Joss Byrd is America's most celebrated young actress, but on the set of her latest project, a gritty indie film called The Locals, Joss's life is far from glamorous. While struggling with her mother's expectations, a crush on her movie brother, and a secret that could end her career, Joss must pull off a performance worthy of a star. When her renowned, charismatic director demands more than she is ready to deliver, Joss must go off-script to stay true to herself.

Unscripted Joss Byrd by Lygia Day Pe aflor is compelling YA Hollywood fiction about a young girl who must learn how to navigate fame and celebrity along with growing up.
