PEZ PROUDLY PRESENTS
Genre: Middle grade contemporary novel
Matthew Miller is a quirky eleven-year-old who dreams of becoming a famous filmmaker. He’s even given himself the name Pez because everybody who’s anybody knows you need to have a good stage name in Hollywood. With help from his neighbors at Sunnyside Mobile Park, Pez sets out to write a comedy entitled Dino Boy in order to win the $10,000 cash prize for a screenwriting contest. He knows for a fact that the money will make his troubled mom happy again. But, Pez soon realizes it’s not all glitz and glamour when it comes to showbiz and that healing his mom may not be as easy as he’d thought.
