|---|
"This book was written by a 11 year old and her Mom. The child, Gigi is a kid actor and she and her mother moved from Florida all the way over to LA so that Gigi could act professionally. This book is based on the first six months of their life in a new place as written in their journals. You get to come inside the audition rooms and feel the pressure of memorizing 5 ages of dialogue in a half hour. "
