Quick Summary

This book pulls back the curtain on Hollywood, giving kids a VIP pass to see how their favorite movies actually get made, from the chaos of pre-production to the final editing room magic. Readers will love discovering the quirky jobs behind the scenes, like how Foley artists create sound effects with vegetables and why someone gets paid to wave a flag during takes. If your kid loves the "Behind the Scenes" features on Blu-rays or has ever wondered how action stunts work, they'll be glued to this book. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 8 who are curious about what happens beyond the camera.
