Call the Shots

In this humorous chapter book, the third in a popular series, Sean, Coop, and Matt embark on their latest zany scheme: making a low-budget horror movie. Sean, desperate for a girlfriend and tired of being a 'doormat,' narrates the comedic chaos that ensues as they write a script about 'zombie-vampire humanzees' and attempt to film it. The story explores themes of friendship, self-confidence, and navigating the awkward world of first crushes and high school dating. It's a lighthearted, engaging read perfect for middle schoolers who enjoy relatable characters and laugh-out-loud situations.

Coop is cooking up another sure-misfire scheme (big surprise), and this time the comedy plays out from Sean's point of view. What's the new master plan? Making a cheapo horror movie guaranteed to make Coop, Sean, and Matt filthy rich! It's a terrible idea, and Sean knows it. But he actually is desperate for cash -- and for a way to wipe that big fat L off his girlfriend-less forehead. But when he agrees to write a script about the attack of zombie-vampire humanzees, he has no idea just how powerful a chick magnet this movie will be. Suddenly Sean is juggling not one but three interested ladies. Will any of them wind up as Sean's true leading lady? Will Sean stop being a doormat and finally start calling the shots?
