A Touch of Stardust

A Touch of  Stardust, by New York Times bestselling author Kate Alcott, is a novel about life in the Golden Age of Hollywood. This, however, is an inside look into the lives of the stars.

Julie Crawford comes to Hollywood hoping to get a job as a screenwriter. Her big break comes when she gets a job working for Carole Lombard. Julie will watch the magic of Gone with the Wind unfold, as well as the romance of Lombard and Clark Gable.

I would recommend this book for ages 13 and up because of details regarding the Gable - Lombard affair, other Hollywood scandals, and the protagonist's own love life. All in all, an enjoyable read about the Golden Age of film.
