Review: VIP: I'm With The Band

Review: VIP: I'm With the Band by Jen Calonita

Twelve-year-old Mackenzie "Mac" Lowell's dreams have come true. Thanks to her mom scoring the coolest job EVER, Mac is going from boy band fanatic to official tour member of her favorite group, Perfect Storm. Good thing she's brought along her journal so she can record every moment, every breath, and every one of lead singer Zander Welling's killer smiles in written detail and daydreamy doodles.

But between a zillion tour stops and pranks gone wrong, Zander and his fellow band members, Heath Holland and Kyle Beyer, become more like brothers to Mac. When the boys' differences start to drive them apart, can Perfect Storm's biggest fan remind them why they're perfect together? It'll be up to Mac--and her comic-book alter ego, Mac Attack--to keep the band together and on the road to stardom

Chronicling her experiences on tour, Mac's journal springs to life with black-and-white illustrations and comic-book panels throughout its pages.

Plot: Very fun! Mac getting to live every boy band fans dream was entertaining to read about! :)

Characters: Mac was a very fun and entertaining main character in the book! And I LOVE that she loves comic books and drawing, which is something that I'm definitely able to relate to! And Perfect Storm (The band in the book.) was fun! Kyle, Heath, and Zander were fun characters to get to read about! And Mac's friends Jilly, Iris, and Scarlet were fun, too! :)

The cover: I like it! And I like how the purple part of the cover actually looks like the texture of a diary!

Overall: Very fun book, with a fun main character to read about! I love the illustrations through-out it. Definitely recommend this book for boy band fans, and also to anyone who just wants an entertaining read! And now I'm looking forward to the next book! :)

(And be sure to read my post on Monday, in which I interview the author and she gives away the book!) :)
