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.
Hi Dan,
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
