Kirkus Reviews wrote "The veteran writer has the ability to make her characters recognizable even with brief sketches, and she holds attention with the mounting suspense of Lindsay’s dilemma, especially when her choices turn out to be wrong. The truth is much stranger, but that tabloid article sets off a chain of events that forces Lindsay to finally confront who she really is. Now she’s sixteen, and a tabloid newspaper claims that her own father is holding her hostage. Every time anyone said anything about her, anywhere in the world, she heard it: praise, criticism, back-stabbing… Lindsay had what looked like a nervous breakdown and vanished from the public eye. The next day her fame had turned into torture. One day, Lindsay Scott was on the top of the world, the child star of a hit TV show. It was a talent that came out of nowhere. Claim to Fame is a novel by Margaret Peterson Haddix published by Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing in 2009.
