Book Review

It ends on a cliffhanger which is partly the reason that I would like to read the second book

It was a good book with a great story line. It has got me intrigued to read the next one.

The characters are all very different and the setting is lovely as it is set in Japan which as shown was beautiful.

It ends on a cliffhanger which is partly the reason that I would like to read the second book.

I would recommend this book to those around the age of 11-12 or older.

About the Book

Middle-school student Hikaru Ogino is known as the songbird of her family’s bathhouse in Tokyo.

Her beautiful singing echoes from room to room as she cleans up after school, but she dreams of holding a microphone, not a mop!

When her best friend, Ran – a former girl group idol – invites her to try out for a pop star survival camp together, it’s the chance of a lifetime to put her talents to the test.

Can Hikaru outshine the competition and make her stage debut, or will she fall flat?
