Megastar Jonny Valentine, eleven-year-old icon of bubblegum pop, knows that the fans donâ€™t love him for who he is. The talented singerâ€™s image, voice, and even hairdo have been relentlessly packagedâ€”by his L.A. label and his hard-partying manager-mother, Janeâ€”into bite-size pabulum. But within the marketing machine, somewhere, Jonny is still a vulnerable little boy, perplexed by his budding sexuality and his heartthrob status, dependent on Jane, and endlessly searching for his absent father in Internet fan sites, lonely emails, and the crowds of faceless fans.,Poignant, brilliant, and viciously funny, told through the eyes of one of the most unforgettable child narrators, this literary masterpiece explores with devastating insight and empathy the underbelly of success in 21st-century America. ,The Love Song of Jonny Valentine ,is a tour de force by a standout voice of his generation.
