Just about everybody these days, judging from the proliferation of talent shows and emerging superstars on TV and social media.
But is there a downside? Chilli Koala, Leader of the Magic Island Gang, thinks there are plenty! Is it seductive? You bet!
He was a shy poet before gaining unwanted celebrity at Brassmonkey Bay Zoo. But Chilli and the Zoo’s keepers fell under the spell of spotlights and applause. In fact, Chilli was so concerned, he wrote a song about it (with the help of musician/songwriter Jon Ross) that gives us an insight into how the mastermind of THE GREAT BRASSMONKEY BAY ZOO ROBBERY feels about fame!
For more clues about what has Chilli so skeptical about Fame, check http://www.magicislandgang.com
Or order a copy of The Great Brassmonkey Bay Jewel Robbery. It’s perfect for middle-grade readers and a musical script of the story is available to community and youth theatre groups!

In my opinion being a celebrity can make you feel uncomfortably obliged to keep up the good work after the one or two lucky masterstrokes that initially made you a celebrity ; there is a danger of continuing , unrealistically high expectations. This uneasy responsibility can have an impeding effect on your ability to produce works of similarly high or even higher standards.
