Author Signing: 'Tallulah and the Teenstars' by Clare Grogan 04:00 pm, Wed 22nd Oct 2008
Former punk-star Clare grogan will be in store signing copies of her new teenage book, 'Tallulah and the Teenstars': WOW! The noise was deafening as the audience roared their approval. Tallulah Gosh, lead singer with Tallulah and the Teenstars stepped forward to the microphone. But as she went to announce the band's next song and brand new single, 'Baby I Don't Bebo', she was interrupted - 'Teresa, hurry up, your tea's on the table,' shouted her always busy mum from downstairs. Tallulah Gosh is Teresa Gordon - an ordinary girl living in an ordinary street. In fact, she feels almost invisible to the world. Except, of course, when she's in her bedroom. There she becomes lead singer with the biggest and best band in the world. But things are about to change - Tallulah is about to step out of her imagination and her bedroom and into the real world. She and her brilliant band are about to take the school talent contest and more by storm. A feat all the more surprising when you know that Tallulah and her bandmates feature pretty highly in the school's 'Least Likely To Succeed' list. But can they all remain friends when overnight success propels them beyond their wildest bedroom dreams and ordinary becomes a thing of the past. "Tallulah and the Teenstars" are about to find out. Come along, meet Clare and get your very own singed copy!
