Jamesy Harper's Big Break (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780987797827)

Jameson Harper is a sixteen-year-old actor in Vancouver on the verge of her big break, but her overprotective mom Val wants her to quit acting to focus on her academic future. When Jamesy books her first TV role, proving that she's got what it takes to succeed in a cutthroat industry, she must decide if pursuing her dreams is worth risking the stability of her family.

As she tries to balance auditions with school and work, plus make time for her new boyfriend's graduation stress and her best friend's sexual identity questions, Jamesy wonders if it's selfish to go against her mom's wishes. If she gives in to Val, she'll let her agent down and wave the white flag on her acting dream, but maybe her parents will stop fighting and everyone she loves will be happy again (well, everyone but Jameson).

This heartfelt contemporary comedic YA novel explores themes of identity, family, competition, jealousy, and how challenging it can be to pursue your big dream when those you love don't understand why it's so important to you.
