Sixth-grader Mitchell goes from geeky new-kid to star when he appears in a popular TV commercial. Williams's text contains lots of inside information about the business end of Hollywood. The tone, which starts out bright and funny, becomes a little pedantic as all the story's loose ends are tied up too neatly.
