JoJo Siwa: My World

Hyper teenage song-and-dance star JoJo Siwa takes center stage in this biographical profile that leads up to her June 2017 performance at the Mall of America. A history of the small-town Nebraska girl starts with footage of her onstage as a dancing two-year-old (JoJo fondly refers to herself as a "chicken nugget") before segueing into her stint on Lifetime’s notorious Dance Moms reality show. But JoJo’s main rise to fame has been through social media, specifically her wacky web show "JoJo’s Juice," where she usually ends up pouring juice over her head. While her Mom says "she’s really serious in a business sort of way," noting that sometimes the teen stays up past midnight, and her Dad acknowledges that "she goes 24/7," viewers are reminded just how young the exuberant star is with a clip of a hotel room decoration surprise for JoJo’s 14th birthday. Also featuring behind-the-scenes rehearsal segments and comments from fans ("She makes me believe anything is possible!"), this is a sure-to-be-popular title for kids and ‘tweens. Bonus features include catchy music videos, a Q&A with JoJo, and video diary entries. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
