Product Description
For fifteen-year-old Scotty Dawn, life is starting to resemble a movie.
After learning that her movie-industry mom is actually her grandmother, Scotty receives more shocking news: Her father was killed by the mob. With his murderer still at large, Scotty hides out on a film set in Texas. There she encounters old rivals, new friends, and a young girl caught in a desperate situation. But in the middle of her fears and intense loneliness, Scotty discovers the life-changing power of prayer.
Lisa Samson presents the second in a four-part series for young women. Readers will encounter entertaining stories, smart dialogue, and meaningful themes that impact their everyday lives.
Reader ReviewsFinding Hollywood Nobody by Lisa Samson is the second book in this charming series starring Scotty Dawn. Scotty's backstory is incredibly convoluted, but Samson does a wonderful job of not only getting readers up to speed, but also making it believable. Scotty is being raised by her grandmother Charley, who works creating food for Hollywood movies. They travel the country in an RV while Scotty homeschools herself and continues reading her favorite autho: F. Scott Fitzgerald. Scotty also writes a blog called Hollywood Nobody anonymously, and those are some of the funniest bits in the book as Scotty snarks about phoniness and hypocrisy. Scotty and Charley settle into Marshall, Texas with another movie directed by family friend Jeremy. They are still on the run from Biker Dude, a mysterious man who has been following them around for years trying to kidnap Scotty. This book finds Scotty exploring her faith and learning more about who Jesus was. She's like a breath of fresh air; she breezes into town on her moped and quickly inserts herself into the lives of its residents. She makes friends, finds a new mentor, helps out a pregnant teenage runaway, and ends up running away herself, and it all happens like Scotty talks: a mile a minute. Samson never fails to write satisfying books, and this is another example of her exemplary work.
