The love song of Jonny Valentine

Megastar Jonny Valentine, eleven-year-old icon of bubblegum pop, knows that the fans don't love him for who he is. The talented singer's image has been relentlessly packaged -- by his label and his hard-partying manager mother, Jane -- into bite-size pabulum. But within the marketing machine, Jonny is still a vulnerable little boy, perplexed by his budding sexuality and his heartthrob status, dependent on his mother, and endlessly searching for his absent father in internet fan sites, lonely e-mails, and the crowds of faceless fans.
