Survival Show by Juno Dawson

Survival Show – Annotated Edition

10 contestants. One killer stage. No second chances.

Welcome to Starmaker, the world’s biggest reality TV competition. The prize? Fame, fortune, and a life of luxury. The catch? If you’re eliminated, you die.

Taryn Beck enters the competition for one reason: her younger brother desperately needs medication her family cannot afford. Winning could save his life.

But once inside the glittering world of Starmaker, Taryn discovers a sinister truth hidden beneath the bright lights, manufactured drama, and pop-star dreams. Determined to expose the brutal regime from within, she risks everything in a fight for survival.
