[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)] [Read by Erin Spencer] Told in a tongue-in-cheek voice that takes a swipe at all things Hollywood, Royce Rolls is a laugh-out-loud funny romp with an LA noir twist about what it means to grow up with the cameras rolling and what really happens behind the scenes. Sixteen-year-old Bentley Royce seems to have it all: an actual Bentley, tuition to a fancy private school, lavish vacations, and everything else that comes along with being an LA starlet. But after five seasons on her family's reality show, Rolling with the Royces, and a lifetime of dealing with her narcissistic sister, Porsche; media-obsessed mother, Mercedes; and somewhat clueless brother, Maybach, Bentley wants out. Luckily for her, without a hook for season six, cancellation is looming and freedom is nigh. With their lifestyle on the brink, however, Bentley's family starts to crumble, and one thing becomes startlingly clear -- without the show, there is no family. And since Bentley loves her family, she has to do the unthinkable -- save the show. But when her future brother-in-law's car goes over a cliff with both Bentley and her sister's fiance inside -- on the day of the big made-for-TV wedding, no less -- things get real. Really real. Like, not reality show real.
