When the network keeps upping the ante to keep ratings high, Amy finds herself fighting for her life -- on and off camera. 520 $a Amy had dreams of going to college, until the Collapse destroyed the economy and her future. Now she is desperate for any job that will help support her terminally ill grandmother and rebellious younger sister. When she finds herself in the running for a slot on a new reality TV show, she signs on the dotted line, despite her misgivings. And she's right to have them. TLN's "Who Knows People, Baby--You?" has an irresistible premise: correctly predict what the teenage cast will do in a crisis and win millions. But the network has pulled strings to make it work, using everything from 24/7 hidden cameras to life-threatening technology to flat-out rigging. Worse, every time the ratings slip, TLN ups the ante. Soon Amy is fighting for her life--on and off camera. 650 0 $a Teenagers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reality television programs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Exploitation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenagers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Reality television programs $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Exploitation $v Juvenile fiction. 655 0 $a Young adult fiction. 941 $a 8 952 $l 3HSX245 $d 20231214011522.0 952 $l 54SX745 $d 20190530010659.0 952 $l RSSX851 $d 20180106072912.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418092213.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911033510.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20150519013338.0 952 $l SGPD074 $d 20140118011236.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20130216010216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC1DFAE644F211E2A5E5A5B6DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
