Product Description
For fifteen-year-old Scotty Dawn, life is starting to resemble a movie.

After learning that her movie-industry mom is actually her grandmother, Scotty receives more shocking news: Her father was killed by the mob. With his murderer still at large, Scotty hides out on a film set in Texas. There she encounters old rivals, new friends, and a young girl caught in a desperate situation. But in the middle of her fears and intense loneliness, Scotty discovers the life-changing power of prayer.

Lisa Samson presents the second in a four-part series for young women. Readers will encounter entertaining stories, smart dialogue, and meaningful themes that impact their everyday lives.

From the Back Cover

Scotty and Charley are headed for Marshall, Texas, with Biker Guy once more close on their trail. As Scotty tries to come to terms with the reality of her parents’ deaths, she grows friendly with the locals. That makes staying hidden challenging.

But there’s got to be more to life than fear, and through new friendships, Scotty learns that this prayer thing might work after all. Will prayer be enough when the situation is life and death? What happens when Biker Guy finally catches up to her?

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic book in the series!, November 25, 2008 By  Michelle Sutton (Arizona) - See all my reviews Lisa Samson has an amazing YA voice! This is the second book in the series, and while you can read it as a stand alone, I would recommend reading the first book first. It really sets you up for what happens in the second book. I adore Scotty and her view of the world. I also loved seeing her deal with stressful situations and learning the power of prayer. She is a genuine teen and she cares about people, and because you are in her head you can see what she is thinking and feeling. Scotty continues to blog about the "scoop" regarding Seth and Karissa, and she actually gives pretty sound advice on more than one occasion. That whole celebrity scenario is such fun to read. Then add to that her friend in crisis and a delightful surprise at the end (which made me actually cry several times - but they were happy tears) this book is about as close to perfect as any I've read. I wish I could say more but that would make this review a spoiler and you don't want that. Half the fun is disovering these things (as a reader) while you enjoy the story. At any rate, Finding Hollywood Nobody has all the makings of a great YA novel. It has believeable characters and situations, realistic conflict, quirky scenarios, and suspenseful plot. I am totally loving this series! 5.0 out of 5 stars Biker Guy is closing in!, November 3, 2008 By  Jill Williamson "Novel Teen Book Reviews" (Oregon) - See all my reviews    In Lisa Samson's Finding Hollywood Nobody, Scotty and Charley head to Marshall, Texas where Jeremy is directing a horror film. Horrifying to Scotty is that actress, Karissa Bonano, has the lead. While Charley mass produces food for the set, Scotty explores her new surroundings as usual, befriending the locals who teach her a little bit about the power of prayer. She looks forward to Seth Haas' visit, but Biker Guy is nearby, which sets everyone on edge. Scotty is tired of living in fear and looking over her shoulder. She gets careless. Will prayer be enough to save her when Biker Guy finally catches up with her? I loved Lisa Samson's first book in this series, Hollywood Nobody, and this sequel did not disappoint. Scotty is a wonderfully deep character with a witty, sarcastic voice. The story weaves through the lives of real people and shows us that making friends is always worth the effort, despite age, race, fame, or wealth. It also left me anxiously awaiting book three. Well done! Highly Recommended. If you haven't, read the first book, Hollywood Nobody (Hollywood Nobody Series, Book 1). Then read the next one, Romancing Hollywood Nobody (Hollywood Nobody Series, Book 3). 4.0 out of 5 stars Scotty -- Sweet and Salty, July 27, 2008 By  Kelly Klepfer (Iowa) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)       Scotty has found out that much of what she thought she knew, she doesn't really have a clue about. Her mother turns out to be someone else. Seth, well, Seth needs to figure out what he's looking for. Biker guy. Hmmm. Is he really out to get her? If so, why does he pull at her heart? And cheese, can it really be that bad? How could something that tastes so good be bad? Scotty, fifteen, dealing with the unknown, the untried and unusual is sweet, vulnerable, frustrating and real. Resembling a whole bunch of people who've crossed my path over the years -- ones I've grown to love. Sweet and salty follow-up to Hollywood Nobody.
