This book is really intriguing and clearly resembles the title: Life in A Fishbowl. The family in this story are being strive of their privacy when a tv show producer finds out that their father has a strange tumor that is little by little killing him. The family, lives in a "fishbowl" where everybody is watching and seeing their every move. The main character Jackie with the help of her friends reveal the truth of living inside the house and the show is shut down, but with the loss of their father. I believe that this book is a realistic play on many television shows that feature characters and the tough behind he scenes they have to go through. The book was very interesting and i couldn't stop reading it till the end.
About This Book
Fifteen-year-old Jackie Stone is a prisoner in her own house. Everything she says and does 24/7 is being taped and broadcast to every television in America. Why? Because her dad is dying of a brain tumor and he has auctioned his life on eBay to the highest bidder: a ruthless TV reality show executive at ATN.
Gone is her mom's attention and cooking and parent-teacher conferences. Gone is her sister's trust ever since she's been dazzled by the cameras and new-found infamy. Gone is her privacy. Gone is the whole family's dignity as ATN twists their words and makes a public mockery of their lives on Life and Death. But most of all, Jackie fears that one day very soon her father will just be . . . gone. Armed only with her ingenuity and the power of the internet, Jackie is determined to end the show and reclaim all of their lives, even in death.
