Maybe wanting to be an actor is kind of an ambitious career goal for an 11-year-old, but this doesnt stop Dustin Grubbs. He refuses to accept defeat, like when the school play hes assistant directing and starring in, The Castle of The Crooked Crowns, seems doomed to failure at every turn. Then Jeremy Jason Wilder, international star of Dustins favorite sitcom Double Take, moves to Buttermilk Falls. Can Dustin keep his cool, or will Jeremy steal the show? Packed with hysterical one-liners, Dustin Grubbs: One Man Show is the story of a sixth-grader with big dreams, lots of insecurities, and wacky characters that will have middle grade readers slapping themselves silly!
