Aged just 16, Tallia Storm is not just a fantastic soul singer, but is now an established author having published her debut novel, Pop Girl. The fictional tale is based on the young singer’s own experiences (Elton John invited her to open his Falkirk concert) and follows heroine Storm Hall as she sets out to make a name in music, with the pitfalls and triumphs of being a teenager adding to the mix of excitement.
Like the author, 14-year-old Storm Hall loves to sing. When she’s told she’s going to miss a national competition to go on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Hawaii, she feels her life is over, but while there, she meets a local band who need a singer last minute to record their demo. They’ve got a big break and Storm steps up to the mic and her voice does the rest. To find out what happens next, you’ll need to read on. Pop Girl is perfect for readers aged 12 and over.
