Finding Hollywood Nobody is a wild ride through the eyes of Scotty, a very unusual sixteen year old girl. Not every sixteen year old girl grows up around Hollywood stars. And not every one discovers that the woman she thought was her mother is actually…her grandmother? Charley is one of those people who makes food look pretty for the media. Her job is pretty flexible, which is good, because she’s busy dragging Scotty across the country to escape the clutches of Biker Guy. He’s been following them for years and the two women are afraid that he’s part of the mob sent to finish them off. All the while, Scotty keeps a tell-tale Hollywood blog updating celebrity watchers of the going-ons of her friends.
The book is an entertaining read and Lisa Samson keeps an energetic pace throughout the novel. Readers are brought through the Jungle Room in Graceland and down to a tiny town in Texas that is bursting with new life as a high-budget horror flick comes to town. Scotty also discovers something foreign to her: friends her own age. She also finds Jesus within the pages of the book—it’s a natural event and doesn’t sound forced or preachy.
If you are looking for a great series for a teenage girl you know, introduce her to Scotty. She’ll be begging you for more.
