Stand-up comedian and Hollywood box-office hit Kevin Hart keeps the laughs coming in an illustrated middle-grade novel about a boy who has big dreams of making a blockbuster superhero film. Perfect for readers of James Patterson' s Middle School series and Lincoln Peirce' s Big Nate series. Marcus is NOT happy to be stuck in after-school film class . . . until he realizes he can turn the story of the cartoon superhero he' s been drawing for years into an actual MOVIE! There' s just one problem- he has no idea what he' s doing. So he' ll need help, from his friends, his teachers, Sierra, the strong-willed classmate with creative dreams of her own, even Tyrell, the local bully who' d be a perfect movie villain if he weren' t too terrifying to talk to. Making this movie won' t be easy. But as Marcus discovers, nothing great ever is-and if you want your dream to come true, you' ve got to put in the hustle to make it happen. Comedy superstar Kevin Hart teams up with award-winning author Geoff Rodkey and lauded illustrator David Cooper for a hilarious, illustrated, and inspiring story about bringing your creative goals to life and never giving up, even when nothing' s going your way.
