Raising a child is confusing enough, let alone adding auditions, agents, paparazzi, and life on set. As the mother of two children who modeled and acted, Candy Bennici knows how to navigate this complex world of child acting. Through Stardom Happens, Bennici uses her knowledge to help other parents learn how to manage and help their child actors. Her son, Taran, comments throughout the book, giving readers his experience with child acting and his perspective for helping other children succeed.

Humorously explaining the difficulties and the triumphs that she faced with her children, Bennici connects with her readers, giving them motivation to keep going.

Not only is Stardom Happens an enjoyable read, but it also helps parents understand the child labor laws and how to manage school while on the set. Bennici expertly weaves her personal experience with valuable lessons that everyone can use.

As someone who has been through the experiences of raising a child in the acting world, Bennici is an excellent resource for any family who is about to enter the entertainment business. From dealing with publicists, to interacting with other actors and living on the set, Bennici has advice. As the Internet helps to launch more young children into the public eye, Stardom Happens prepares families for what they will encounter as they enter the world of celebrities.

And Bennici doesn’t stop there. Stardom Happens sees families through to the end. Stepping away from a set can be just as difficult as stepping on to it, especially for children who cannot remember life without it. Stardom Happens provides an entertaining and enlightening read for all parents of young entertainers.
