This review is from: Help! I'm Trapped in a Movie Star's Body (Paperback)

I'm almost ten years old. I enjoyed this book very much because it described movie stars and acting. The movie star switches bodies with an ordinary boy named Jake. Jake finds out that being a movie star is both fun and a lot of hard work. I highly recommend this book other kids.
