Fifth grader, Lena
Daniels, and her friends are super fans of singer, Mallory Winston.
When Mallory sponsors a contest to find a girl to make a movie with
her, Lena jumps at the chance and surprisingly wins. This is an
opportunity of a lifetime, but what Lena wants is to meet
Mallory. Now she’s committed to the movie, and her whole summer
will be spent in California.
Lena has
exceptionally committed parents, so the whole family, Lena’s three
sisters and the dog, Austin, take off for California. Lena gets her
wish to meet and work with Mallory, but making movie isn’t all fun.
There are plenty of things that make her life difficult.
Middle grade girls
will love this book. The characters are realistic, the plot is a
dream for many tweens, and the book is filled with delightful black
and white pictures to illustrate the text. The story is aimed at a
Christian audience. Lena talks to God in her journal and asks for his
help in the hard things in her life.
For me, one of the
best parts of the book was seeing how committed Lena’s parents are.
Busy parents often don’t have or take the time to help their
children realize their dreams. However, in this book, the whole
family gets behind Lena and helps her make a success of her
experience.
I highly recommend
this book for tween girls, but parents can enjoy it also.
I received this book
from Handlebar Marketing for this review.
