Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List by Janette Rallison

Ultimately, Serena discovers the plot, Tony proves to be a less-than-loyal buddy, and soon McKay realizes that he has to approach his life, and his relationships, with a little more integrity. When his friend Tony suggests that he wrangle free tutoring from a brainy math student by pretending that he has a crush on her, McKay buys into the scheme. Another of her early novels, Playing the Field, finds thirteen-year-old McKay trying to keep his head above water in algebra class, because a bad grade will mean the end of his spot on the school baseball team. Rallison began her publishing career with the teen romance Deep Blue Eyes and Other Lies, which was released in 1996. In fact while I was writing It's a Mall World After All I once lifted dialogue for a scene right off the text message log in my daughter's cell phone.' Living with a teenager 'is sort of like living in your own reality show, but with fewer commercials,' the author explained on her home page. When mining her own memories dors not yield the perfect character or plot element, Rallison has been known to adapt events from her teenage daughter's life. Specifically, Rallison focuses on the concerns shared by most teen girls-dating, dating, and dating-and her entertaining novels, such as All's Fair in Love, War, and High School, Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To-Do List, and How to Take the Ex out of Ex-Boyfriend, feature heroines attempting to discover, rekindle, jump-start, or repair a love relationship with the boy of their dreams. Janette Rallison began writing at age six, and many of her books draw on her memories of growing up in a small town in eastern Washington.
