Disney High

On the scale between hagiography and TMZ, this look at Disney Channel's peak years in the early aughts lands somewhere in the middle. While there are no bombshell revelations like the ones in [b:I'm Glad My Mom Died 59364173 I'm Glad My Mom Died Jennette McCurdy https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1649286799l/59364173.SY75.jpg 93537110] and recent TV documentaries about child stars, the author doesn't shy away from calling out the Mouse House for its notorious insistence on controlling everything while paying next to nothing. But overall Disney High is a respectful, nostalgic trip down memory lane for millennials and Gen Zers who carried Lizzie McGuire backpacks, screamed at Hannah Montana concerts, and knew all of the lyrics and dance steps for the High School Musical songs. (Confession: not only am I way too old to be Disney's target demographic, but my kids were over it before Miley Cyrus ever put on a wig. My nieces however, were half a generation younger and I kept watching the channel for them. Really.)
