Bruce Cameron is an absolute must-read for young animal lovers ages 8–12.

Lights, Camera, Action!
Shelby doesn’t remember much about her early life as a stray, except that she was always cold, lonely, and hungry. But Shelby's luck changes forever the day she is rescued by a kind woman with a big heart.

Before she knows it, this sweet pup goes from scavenging for scraps to stepping onto a real Hollywood movie set! Her new life as a canine actress is full of exciting challenges and big rewards. She works hard to master special movie commands like "Go Mark," "Cut," and "Dig." Her hard work pays off with plenty of squeaky toys, delicious chicken treats, and best of all, endless love and affection from the cast and crew. Everyone on set falls in love with Shelby—and young readers and movie fans will too!
