In this Charlie Joe Jackson series spinoff, class clown Pete suddenly finds himself starring in a movie. He discovers that being a star has its problems: his girlfriend is jealous of his beautiful co-star, and his other friends think he has abandoned them. Readers will enjoy the humor and the insight into how movies are made. Comic line drawings match the story's light mood.
