Synopsis

An action-packed adventure story with an exciting film location setting. Finn is a free-running black belt, with a talent for acting-but when his big break arrives, it's not the role he was expecting at all.Recruited as a stunt double, he's pushed to his limits-scaling walls at high speed, jumping from dizzying heights, and diving into rocky waters-all without any safety gear. He's determined to push himself, but as the stunts get more dangerous, the lines between movie and reality are really starting to blur, and it becomes clear that he'll be luckily to escape this shoot with his life.A brand new adventure for readers aged 9+, from the author of The Scarlet Files.

Reviews

I loved the amount of adventure they put into this book while being balance with a bit of comedy and mystery, making me read on to see how the main character would escape and fix the new problem that happens on set. Meanwhile a dark mystery is being discovered as the director may not be what she seems. The main character is called Finn who has become a stunt double after his old best friend - and now rival, Blake - kicked him out of his movie, so Novak the director makes him a stunt double while a new actor called Mawi takes another actor's spot and blows everyone away! This book was a real joy to read and I recommend it from 9-14!
