This was such a fun and powerful book. I adored the message that the small can be mighty as well!

Mo is a fierce MC. Mo doesn't let things like her height or classroom bullies deter her from chasing her dream - starring alongside Cody Kwok in a movie. Cody is her idol and an international super star, known for doing his own stunts at the young age of 16. Mo, a huge fan, wants to follow in his footsteps and when auditions open for his new movie, she knows she has to try out. Her tenacity and creative thinking in every situation brings her closer and closer to her dream. However, as things unravel and secrets are revealed, she wonders what she truly wants.

I loved the character development for Mo and Dax, and I adored Gramps. Nacho was such a great friend too, I can't forget about him! This story balanced character development, world building, and action-filled plot really well, allowing for a quick, riveting read.

This story is also one I'd recommend for all ages. This book had great dialogue, a fantastic message, and didn't get bogged down by cringey situations or dialogue that adults often find in MG. It was a fantastic book, and I can honestly see it being a great movie (Disney, where you at?).

All in all, a fantastic story about friends, family, and kicking butt!
