Trophy Kid giá ưu đãi

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Joe is the ultimate trophy kid. His adoptive parents are Hollywood’s favorite power couple, Academy Award–winning actress Greta Powell and actor/director/political candidate Robert Francis. Life with them has been one big photo-op since Joe became a war orphan at the ripe old age of three. And what better way for Greta and Robert to celebrate how far Joe’s come—and how much they’ve helped him—than for Joe to describe his experiences in a moving autobiography?

Of course, Greta and Robert don’t actually intend for Joe to write the book himself. Or for him to include any unflattering details about them. That’s why they’ve hired an experienced professional for the job. But Tom Dolan is no ordinary writer, and he’s determined to help Joe tell the real story of growing up with the two most famous celebrities in America. Even if it means going back to Joe’s homeland, with his image-conscious parents in tow. . . .

Steve Atinsky has written for the CBS sitcom Payne and Disney’s The Weekenders. He is also the author of Tyler on Prime Time. He lives in Santa Monica, California.

“Thirteen-year old Joey has lived his whole life in the spotlight it seems. As a young child in war-torn Yugoslavia, Joey is the sole survivor of his family when bombs rip through his hometown. His tragic story is caught on camera and immediately captures the sympathy of the world—and in particular, the interest of a famous Hollywood couple who adopt him. Raised in a new country and new family, Joey grapples with understanding his past and coming to terms with his new star-studded life. When he takes on the project of writing an autobiography, Joey is determined to write the truth about his family rather than the picture-perfect image they always present to the rest of the world. With the help of his ghost-writer, a New York Times writer and ex-minor league baseball star, Joey takes a journey to Croatia to uncover the truth about his biological mother and father. Along the way, he discovers that families are more than just who you are related to—they are the people who give your heart a sense of home wherever you are. At times funny and tender, this coming-of-age story will resonate with any young reader trying to make sense of his or her place in a family—whatever that family looks like.”
