Publisher's summary

Stand-up comedian and Hollywood box-office hit Kevin Hart keeps the laughs coming in a middle-grade novel about a boy who has big dreams of making a blockbuster superhero film. Perfect for listeners of James Patterson's Middle School series and Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate series.

Marcus is NOT happy to be stuck in after-school film class...until he realizes he can turn the story of the cartoon superhero he’s been drawing for years into an actual MOVIE! There’s just one problem: He has no idea what he’s doing. So he’ll need help, from his friends, his teachers, Sierra, the strong-willed classmate with creative dreams of her own, even Tyrell, the local bully who’d be a perfect movie villain if he weren’t too terrifying to talk to.

Making this movie won’t be easy. But as Marcus discovers, nothing great ever is - and if you want your dream to come true, you’ve got to put in the hustle to make it happen.

Comedy superstar Kevin Hart teams up with award-winning author Geoff Rodkey and lauded illustrator David Cooper for a hilarious and inspiring story about bringing your creative goals to life and never giving up, even when nothing’s going your way.

Marcus Movie Middle School HIT

I purchased the book first to read. Then I decided that I would have my middle school art students listen to the audio version. So, I purchased it and we listened to 2-3 chapters every Wednesday in Art class. Tonight I listened to chapters 20-29 straight through and OMG it was so good. Especially at the end when..... (OH I AINT GIVING NO SPOILERS...HA-HA, HA-HA). Buy the book and the audio! I love it.

Hilarious yet relatable!

The story has many themes that children who read this book will discover. One that came to mind is "success is failure turned inside out".

Funny and Fun

An amazing story. It’s nice that the main character gains so much after doing something he wasn’t excited to do.
