"Megastar Johnny Valentine, eleven-year-old icon of bubblegum pop, knows deep down that the fans don't love him for who he is. The talented singer'simage, voice, and even hairdo have been relentlessly packages --by his L.A. label and his hard-partying manager-mother, Jane-- into bite-size pabulum, sliding down the gullet of mass culture. But within the marketing machine, somewhere, Johnny 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 countless, faceless fans."--
