Summary

Part of the My Life series starring the irrepressible Derek Fallon.

Description

Derek Fallon gets the opportunity of a lifetime - to be a stuntboy in a major movie featuring a pretty teen actress. After accepting the job, he learns that he is the star's stunt double and must wear a wig! His friends are never going to let him live this down. If that weren't his only problem, his parents are threatening to give away his pet monkey, and his best friend just posted an embarrassing video of him on YouTube. Can life get any worse? Still, Derek takes it all in stride and even manages to save the day.

“Will thrill young readers.”

"A fast-moving plot and relatable protagonist make this stand-alone sequel a good choice for boys who, like Derek, would rather reach for a TV remote or game controller than a book." --School Library Journal

"Fans of the first will be utterly delighted by this sequel and anxious to see what Jake will turn up as next." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"This is a great package for kids, especially those like Derek who don't think they like to read." --Booklist

"Another fun, emotionally resonant read for the Wimpy Kid set and beyond." --Kirkus Reviews
