Gemma Stone’s ambition in life is to be a famous journalist – so when a school webzine is started, she jumps at the chance to take part. She quickly finds out, though, that things aren’t as glamorous in the media as she’d imagined, especially when she’s the youngest person involved and gets stuck with the job of writing horoscopes. Then a fluke prediction or two make her new column a must read, and she realises there’s the potential to set up her firend Treacle with the boy she’s been watching from afar… will the path of true love be lit up by the stars?

The plot of the book was fairly predictable in many ways but it was still good fun to see what happened, while the breezy writing style – particularly for Gemma’s extremely entertaining horoscopes – made this one very easy to read. The book includes a sneak preview of the second in the series and I’ll certainly keep an eye out for it to see what Gemma does next.

For more astrologically based fun, I love Bonnie Hearn Hill's Star Crossed series, which starts with [[Star Crossed: Aries Rising by Bonnie Hearn Hill]].
