Box-Office Smash by D.M. Page-ADVISABLE



Paige, D.M., Box-Office Smash. pgs. 108. Darbycreek, 2013. Language: PG, Mature Content: PG, Violence: PG

Jason gets an internship on a movie set through billionaire, Harmon Holt. The internship, however, isn’t quite what he expected. Frustrated as he has to work his way up, Jason keeps messing up. Things start to look up as he starts dating Becca, a beautiful actress. But, their relationship seems like there is something hiding. Can Jason check his pride and be a team player? Is his relationship with Becca too good to be true?

Jason's reactions are true-to-life and his character is likable. The plot is a little predictable, but will appeal to reluctant readers who enjoy realistic fiction and movies. MS, HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
