By Shirley Van Sanden

Jayla is obsessed with being
famous. She wants to be the next Super Model, the new Australian
Idol, the first Australian Princess – anything! She
even considered going in for Survivor Downunder, but she
was worried about breaking a finger nail. She is obsessed
with her looks, her weight, her clothes and Paris Hilton.
But is there more to life than fame for the sake of being
famous?

Jack is a couch potato. He spends most of his
time in front of the television watching Reality TV Shows. He
doesn’t call his friends anymore and he never goes out.
What’s the point? Jack is depressed and his friends are
getting worried about him.
Fleta thinks she’s found a cure for her depression. She
takes drugs. She thinks they make her happy – but only
for a little while. Fleta begins to feel paranoid – like
everybody is watching her. She thinks she’s living in a
Reality TV show – but nobody has told her yet!
When all three do end up on a real Teen Reality Show, at first
they are confused – what’s real and what’s
not?? But when they are stuck alone together, they learn more
about life and each other than they ever imagined.
