In this middle-grade novel-a hilarious spin-off of writer Tommy Greenwald and illustrator Rebecca Roher's Charlie Joe Jackson series-the class clown is suddenly a big-time movie star.

Pete Milano has always been the class clown and proud of it. What's the point of having friends if you can't make them laugh, right? Even if doing so has the unfortunate side effect of constantly getting him into trouble. But, for once, Pete's tricks have led him to just the right place at just the right time. Now he's about to become famous, because he's been asked to audition for the hottest new movie with the hottest girl costar. But balancing real life with movie life is way harder than it sounds. Will Pete's newfound fame mean losing his girlfriend and all his friends? Find out in Pete Milano's Guide to Being a Movie Star.
