This was pretty good! I learned about it from Twitter: someone was asking about Lalaine, who played Miranda on the show Lizzie McGuire, and the comments were talking about how she and Hilary Duff didn't get along, so she was forced off of the show. This book had that info, so I got the audiobook from hoopla. Turns out: Lalaine narrates it, which is pretty neat, and it made me wonder if she found it difficult to narrate about herself and her time on the show.
Written by a journalist, this covers the Disney Channel's programming and their success with shows and movies like Even Stevens, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, High School Musical, and stars like Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. I was a fan of these growing up so there was a nostalgic appeal to learning more about them. I particularly enjoyed the juicy stuff and wish there was more of it, but this book was more about the logistics of the work being created.
