Pages: 288
Rating: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars

This was a fun and quick read, about a very ordinary kid with boring parents who is the new kid in a school of Hollywood stars and their children. To escape the embarrassment of the day his dad came to school and talked about his cockroach collection, Mitch decides to go on a commercial casting call. His dream comes true when he is cast in a commercial for Fizzy Whiz Soda, and he is no longer "Roach Boy." An entertaining and funny story, probably most popular with 5th-7th grades.
