Unscripted Joss Byrd by Lygia Peñaflor | Goodreads
Release Date: August 23, 2016
Publisher: Roaring Brook Press
Katherine Jacobs at Roaring Brook has acquired Unscripted Joss Byrd , a YA debut by Lygia Day Peñaflor about a young actress struggling to meet the demands of an ambitious director, his edgy script, and her pushy mother.
Publication is scheduled for spring 2016. Molly Ker Hawn at the Bent Agency brokered the deal for North American rights.
This debut sounds like Secrets of My Hollywood Life for a new generation of YA readers, and I am so ready to learn more about the protagonist’s struggles with fame and film. Lygia Peñaflor appears to be a promising new author in the world of YA contemporary; I have high hopes for this one.
