Review by Jill Williamson
To most teens in America, Hollywood stars are royalty. In her Christy award winning young adult novel, Hollywood Nobody, Lisa Samson shows us that celebrities are people, just like everyone else.
Blogger Scotty Dawn has a unique life. She lives in an RV because her mom, Charley, is a food stylist. The two travel from movie set to movie set giving Scotty the up-close-and-personal on many of Hollywood’s A-list. She secretly blogs about these superstars on her Hollywood Nobody blog, which is growing in popularity every day.
But Scotty is lonely. On the set of her mother’s latest job, Scotty makes friends with newbie actor, Seth Haas, but is disappointed when he starts dating snotty “it girl” Karissa Bonano. Scotty keeps her distance from the new “couple,” thankful she’s able to vent incognito via her Hollywood Nobody blog.
When Charley starts getting suspicious phone calls, Scotty wonders what’s up? Why do they always have to run? Who is Charley hiding from? And does it have anything to do with Scotty’s father?
Scotty Dawn is a joy to read. I loved her antics from her blogging rants to her acting debut as a life-size mustard bottle. For a quick and fun read, with some surprise plot twists, Hollywood Nobody is a winner. Highly Recommended.
