Publisher Description
Sean Rosen makes funny videos you can watch online. He also has ideas for movies, TV shows, and games that he knows are good enough to be produced by the biggest studios in Hollywood. The only problem is, he's a kid. And he's busy with school. And he lives far from Los Angeles or New York City. But Sean does have a laptop and a phone, and he's smart. He's about to have the ride of a lifetime as he discovers the ins and outs—and dos and don'ts—of becoming one of the youngest movie moguls the world's ever known.
An inventive, original, and hilarious novel that will leave fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Carl Hiaasen, and Louis Sachar eager for Sean's next adventure.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sean Rosen has an idea. A big one that he says "will affect TV, theater, games, and especially movies." But breaking into the entertainment biz isn't easy for a 13-year-old, even one who subscribes to the Hollywood Reporter. Before reaching out to the (unnamed) "huge company" he hopes to work with, Sean attempts a trial run with his second-choice company. After creating a fictitious manager, Dan Welch, to help get his foot in the door, Sean gets an offer not for his big, secret idea (readers don't even learn what it is), but for a movie idea. Throughout, debut author Baron realistically incorporates technology into the story Sean (as Dan) arranges a Skype meeting with the entertainment exec; he also produces his own podcasts and Sean's email exchanges with various professionals are dead-on. Because Sean is keeping so many secrets from his family, friends, and others, the story relies heavily on his long internal monologues, which can become tiring. But readers who share Sean's Hollywood ambitions will find his experiences just as eye-opening as he does. Ages 10 up.
