Ace Hits Rock Bottom (Can't Stop Ace) Judie Wolkoff

'Horace, get up and get a job!' his mom yells one summer morning, forgetting he's ACE HOBART, HOT PROPERTY. That's what Marilyn Maroon calls him, and she directed his movie with the Purple Falcons. So she ought to know! Ace and the Falcons want to stay in Show Biz, however, so they have to hunt for acting jobs...fast! Tricked into invading the territory of the Piranha Gang in New York City-far from BROADWAY'S Big Lights-they find theater work in a Rest Home for Famous Actors. But is this any place for teenagers? Ace has to play an old French guy with a big, ugly nose. To top it all, lurking outside the theater are the Piranhas planning pyromaniac tricks to blow the Falcons off their territory. And on opening night, when he sees the huge, live audience, he's so scared he can't get himself on stage. The director says if Ace doesn't go out and play the part, he'll kill himself. 'That's murder, Ace!' his girlfriend yells, hating him for being a coward again. Even if you're always totally sure of yourself (and are you REALLY SURE YOU'RE SURE?), you'll enjoy reading this book for essential information.
