Overview

"Ages 10 to 13 years Nine ordinary kids ride the same yellow school bus every day, but only one of them is about to be famous! Each of the nine students on Mrs. B's school bus holds a clue to the mystery of the empty bus stop. Spencer's the smart kid. Shelly's the diva. Matthew's just average (so far). In fact, there's nothing about any of the nine middle schoolers on Mrs. B's bus route that screams ""fame,"" but before the end of the school year, somebody on this bus is going to be famous."

Author Information

J. B. Cheaney was born in Dallas, Texas, sometime in the last century. In school her favorite subject was making up parts for herself in imaginary movies and plays. Too bad they don't give grades for that. Fortunately, her second-favorite subject was history. All that daydreaming and history-loving finally paid off with five published novels, the latest of which is Somebody on This Bus Is Going to Be Famous. She has won numerous awards for her children's books: Booklist TopTen Best YA by debut authors, NYPL's Best Books for Teens; Texas Bluebonnet nominee, the Florida Sunshine State Young Readers award, the Indiana Young Hoosier list, and a Kansas Notable Book. She lives and daydreams in Missouri with her husband.
