My Life as a Stuntboy

My Life as a Stuntboy
(Book 2)
by Janet Tashjian

Derek, age 12,  and his best friend Matt love to run around their hometown of  Los Angeles doing crazy stunts and it pays off when they meet a professional stuntman who recruits Derek to be a stuntboy in a movie.  

You'd think this opportunity would just bring joy to Derek but it doesn't.  First, Matt gets jealous of him and starts being mean.  Second, Derek's parents require him to work with a tutor and to change his pet monkey's diaper once a day in order to be a stuntboy. Finally, Derek has to successfully complete the dangerous stunts of a stuntboy.  

Will Derek survive his new life as a stuntboy?  Reading this book is the only way to find out.
