Hollywood & Maine by Allison Whittenberg

Hollywood & Maine is today’s Featured Book of Color. In this second novel about Charmaine Upshaw, we find her happy and content. She finally has a boyfriend and an agency shaping her to be the next big thing. But when Uncle E, her father’s ex-convict brother, shows up at the dinner table, she refuses to forgive him. He left her family in a bind when he disappeared after they put up a thousand-dollar bail.

If Charmaine can survive the ninth grade, a fabulous dip into Hollywood, and her first romance, she should be able to handle her uncle at home. Or, so she thinks.

Hollywood & Maine is the second book about Charmaine’s adventures written by Allison Whittenberg. Allison has also written Life is Fine, a novel geared towards older adults.
