I Represent Sean Rosen by Jeff Baron

Sean Rosen is 13-years-old and full of great ideas.  In fact, he's got one SUPER-BIG idea that could change the entertainment industry forever.  All he has to do is get his idea in front of a major Hollywood studio, and he'll be set for life!  First problem: Sean lives nowhere near a major Hollywood studio.  Second problem: major Hollywood studios don't take ideas from just anybody, let alone 13-year-old kids!

It's a good thing for Sean he's as smart as he is.  And it's not true that he doesn't have any show-business experience.  He publishes a podcast every week - he even does all the editing himself! (One thing that's really fun about the book, is that even though Sean Rosen is a fictional character, you can go online and check out his podcasts!)  But what Sean really needs is someone to represent him - someone like an agent or a manager.

That's about all I can tell you without giving too much away.  As the title suggests, Sean does have someone to represent him - I just can't tell you who.  And he does contact a major Hollywood studio - I just can't tell you how.  But believe me when I tell you, you'll eagerly follow along with Sean's exploits as he tries to break into the "big time."  Along the way, he learns A LOT about how show business really works behind the scenes.  He  learns a bit about personal integrity, as well.

A really fun read for any creative person who yearns to reach a wider audience, but just doesn't know how.  Recommended for grades 6-8.

  1. Hi Dan,
    Thanks for the amazing shout out. Two of your sentences in the first paragraph got transposed, so it's a little bit of a word puzzle right now. Hope everyone will check out the second book in the series, SEAN ROSEN IS NOT FOR SALE.
