WANT TO BE A ROCK STAR?

Be careful what you wish for. OVERNIGHT SENSATION, the young adult contemporary novel by local author, Hal Eisenberg, has it all: adventure, danger, humor, romance, and even a few Elvis rhinestone jumpsuits... Fifteen year-old Jonah Levine is practically invisible at Applecrest High. His Facebook page is pathetic, his baseball skills are mediocre at best, and his IQ seems to drop 50 points when talking to girls. But everything changes when his rock band, Hitstreak, becomes the hottest teen sensation in the country. And now they’re about to perform in front of 15,000 screaming fans. So why isn’t he jumping for joy?

 Well, for starters, that hit on the radio wasn’t really recorded by his band. In fact, six months ago, he and his friends could barely play a note between them. And now they’re about to perform in front of 15,000 screaming fans. What began as a mindless prank had quickly spun out of control, involving his father’s secret past as a 70’s rocker, a high school bully who wants in on the action, and a powerful, ruthless, media mogul who will stop at nothing to claim the band as his own. Will Jonah prevail? Or will he and his band go down in flames and become the biggest farce in pop music history?

"From start to finish, Overnight Sensation is an intense and imaginative ride. There was quite a few times where the Hitstreak antics had me laughing out loud."  Jill Marie, Littlehyuts.blogspot.com 

 

Overnight Sensation was utterly entertaining! I picked it up off my desk to skim for a minute and the next thing I know, I'm sitting on the couch really invested in Jonah's story. Fans of other YA novels featuring music will really enjoy this one. Four stars! "   Sandra, Pandareads.com

 

"Overnight Sensation hooks you from the first paragraph and takes the reader on a wild, bumpy ride."  Tammy Dahle, mugofmoxie.blogspot.com
