The Real Real (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. When Jesse O'Rourke gets cast on the Laguna Beach-style reality show being filmed at her school, she's forced to pal around with the glamorous kids, whose families her working-class parents serve. But there's a tuition check attached to being on the show, and Jesse's determined to be the first O'Rourke who goes to college. At least there's one bright spot: Jesse's crush has also made the cast. As the producers play with their lives to heighten the drama, Jesse must struggle against losing herself amidst the red-carpet hype that is now a part of her daily life.
