Customer Reviews

A Good book for 5th through 7th graders (or anyone else)

This book explores the way young children feel about popularity. When Nutty gets a part in a movie he gets back the popularity he had lost by evesdropping on the girls bathroom. Stemming from this new image as "movie star" his twenty four hour trip to Hollywood where he saw only one celebrity (one from a dog food commercial) suddenly becomes a Hollywood free for all where he "saw" famous people, lunched at the most famous resturants and stayed at fabulous hotels. His popularity's back and he's feeling good . . . . until his bluff is called. The way this charming and funny story unfolds is yet to be discovered inside the covers.
