Talent — Zoey Dean

Talent: You either have it or you don't.

Emily Mungler: Wavy-haired, rosy-cheeked Emily can't believe she's finally visiting L.A. from nowheresville, Iowa. Too bad her mom thinks Hollywood is all about wax museums and tar pits. Emily desperately wants to see Davey Woodward, her star crush. If only she could make it past the velvet rope and into the premiere party for his new movie…

Mackenzie Little-Armstrong: Mac is the undisputed leader of Bel-Air Middle School and the daughter of the most powerful talent agent in L.A. She's yawning through yet another premiere party when she spots wide-eyed Emily faking out the bouncer with an Oscar-worthy performance. Emily, Mac realizes, has it. Talent. But does Mac have what it takes to make this talented nobody a superstar?

With a little help from her glamorous best friends, Coco Kingsley and Evangelina Becks, Mac vows to turn this natural actress into an overnight sensation. It's West-Coast-meets-Midwest in this story of two twelve-year-old girls, their meteoric rise to the top, and the friends who hang on for the star-studded ride.
