V.I.P I’m With the Band did not reach up to my expectations. The summary of the book sounded much better than the book actually was. In the summary, it implied that the climax of the story is when the girl's favorite band has a big fight; In the book, it was a problem that got solved very quickly after it started, which I didn't like. The characters were fun and entertaining for me, but the book not so much. I recommend this book for 4th- 5th graders.

Twelve-year-old Mackenzie "Mac" Lowell's dreams have come true. Thanks to her mom scoring the coolest job EVER, Mac is going from boy band fanatic to official tour member of her favorite group, Perfect Storm. Good thing she's brought along her journal so she can record every moment, every breath, and every one of lead singer Zander Welling's killer smiles in written detail and daydreamy doodles.
But between a zillion tour stops and pranks gone wrong, Zander and his fellow band members, Heath Holland and Kyle Beyer, become more like brothers to Mac. When the boys' differences start to drive them apart, can Perfect Storm's biggest fan remind them why they'reperfect together? It'll be up to Mac--and her comic-book alter ego, Mac Attack--to keep the band together and on the road to stardom
Chronicling her experiences on tour, Mac's journal springs to life with black-and-white illustrations and comic-book panels throughout its pages.

I do not know why but I did not like this book at all. Like I said I do not know why. I mean some parts were funny and some were not and whenever there is a book I do not like I always say it is not the anthers fault. and in this book it was not her fault I did not like it.
Mac is on tour with her fav band!! This is exciting. But problems begin to approach when the band members start to well, go against each other. It is all up to Mac now, time to save the Perfect Storm.
This book is about a girl who loves a band called Perfect Storm. (PS) One day her mom got tickets to see their concert. Then the band starts to fall apart. Will Mackenzie get the band together again? Read the book to find out.
This book is so good I loved reading it I wish my parent was a band helper! I am so glad my sister has it so I can read it more.

She wants to record all her adventures in her journal, and show the band her drawings. But when the boys seem to start to drift apart, will Mac be able to keep them together???
This book was really good! It's about 12 year old McKenzie(Mac) whose Mom ends up getting a job for her favorite band: Perfect Storm! She now has the opportunity to go to their every concert, see their natural behavior, and possibly get Zander to date her. All of this can happen to her because her Mom is their tour manager! But once Mac's in the tour buses and hotels, she realizes things are different. Heath is really into pranks, but is there like a brother. Zander isn't as perfect and modest as he seems on stage. And then there's Kyle. Mac always thought of Kyle as shy, timid, and a cute boy who can play guitar. But she learns more about him. He writes songs, isn't too seemingly shy, and seems to really like Mac. Or is that just Mac. Things go up and down, but the worst thing happens that will break everyone's heart: Perfect Storm might break up! But once Mac gets on the scene, she does what not even her Mom could do, get the boys to forgive and forget. Once the tour is over, Mac finally tells Kyle she likes him, and he says he likes her back. I can't wait for the sequel: VIP: Battle of the Bands!
