THE BLACK SHEEP by Yvonne Collins and Sand Rideout
Television is filled with reality shows like American Idol and Survivor, but what if there was a television show where a teen could switch families. Kendra Bishop, 15, would love to leave her money obsessed parents with all their rules, which are kept in a binder, and find new parents. When her parents fire Rosa, her beloved Nanny, Kendra sends off a letter of application to a new reality show call The Black Sheep.
Within the month producer, Judy, is banging down the Bishop's front door in New York City to take Kendra to her new family, the Mulligans, in Monterey, California. Say goodbye to being an only, overprotected child of bankers and hello to a large family with environmentally concerned parents. Now Kendra must learn to share a room with a younger sister and a ferret, accept cameras on her all the time, learn to love otters, and accept the fact she is falling for her new older brother.
This new family, new star power, new cause and new love may be more problematic for Kendra, than the home she left behind. Along with Kendra learn about reality TV in THE BLACK SHEEP.
I RECOMMEND THIS TITLE FOR TEENS 13 TO 17.
