Twelve-year-old Mackenzie "Mac" Lowell's dreams have come true. Thanks to her mom scoring the coolest job EVER, Mac is going from boy band fanatic to official tour member of her favorite group, Perfect Storm. Good thing she's brought along her journal so she can record every moment, every breath, and every one of lead singer Zander Welling's killer smiles in written detail and daydreamy doodles.

But between a zillion tour stops and pranks gone wrong, Zander and his fellow band members, Heath Holland and Kyle Beyer, become more like brothers to Mac. When the boys' differences start to drive them apart, can Perfect Storm's biggest fan remind them why they'reperfect together? It'll be up to Mac--and her comic-book alter ego, Mac Attack--to keep the band together and on the road to stardom

Chronicling her experiences on tour, Mac's journal springs to life with black-and-white illustrations and comic-book panels throughout its pages.

This book is about is about 12 year old Mackenzie or Mac, and her friends who are super fans of the new boy band Perfect Storm. Mac spends hours doodling Perfect Storm (especially her crush Zander!), and designing t-shirts. She is thrilled when her mom becomes Perfect Storm's tour manager and the two of them get to go on the road with the boys for 2 months! As Mac gets to know the boys better, she realizes there is more to them than their public appearance. And she realizes that it may not be Zander she likes at all! Then problems arise, and it is up to Mac and her friends to keep Perfect Storm together! I liked that there were parts of this book written like comic pages, starring Mac Attack, Mackenzie's comic book alter ego. I recommend this book for kids from grades 4-8. I think it is a lower level middle grade read. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

It is boring well in my opinion. Still good though for people of all ages. Please read this book to find out what I'm talking bout!!

This was a really nice book and I enjoyed it. It suprised me a lot and I really liked this book, so I will rate this book 5 stars.

This book is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, amazing! I love it. Mackenzie is my favorite character. I recommend this book. When I first saw the title I was like "Uh, of course it's going to be bo-ring!" But I thought, never judge a book by it's cover. So I just checked it out and I LOVED IT! I hope you like it, too!

This book is really good. The next book that I win, will be this book because I love this book that much to read it again.

this book looks really good and i think it would be a good read

This book is definitely a great boOK. I personally like bands and adventure novels. I really would recommend this book to 4-6 graders who love bands.

Mackenzie really likes to draw and she's good at it. Mac also loves Perfect Storm (PS) a boy band especially the lead singer Zander. So when the Spring Fling comes up Mac gets a crazy idea to ask Zane to it. Then her mom gets a job to go on tour with PS and Mac can come too! But as Mac spends more time with the guys she realizes maybe she doesn't really like Zander at all.

Omg I love this book so much it makes me real like I really am a vip I read the book and it's awesome I hope I get to read the book sometime this month or year
