It's a bird, it's a plane--no, it's Johnny Hangtime! From New York Times bestselling author Dan Gutman comes an action-packed story of a stunt kid's daring escapades.
Jumping off the Empire State Building, fighting on the wing of a biplane, and parachuting onto the back of a horse are all in a day's work for thirteen-year-old Johnny Thyme, a stunt kid known in the movie business as Johnny Hangtime. But Johnny's phenomenal feats are a movie industry secret. Ricky Corvette, the superstar teen for whom Johnny doubles, wants his fans to think he does all his own stunts.
Johnny is devoted to repeating the career of his legendary stuntman father, but what's he going to do when his favorite director asks him to perform the super-dangerous stunt that killed his father? Will following in his daredevil dad's footsteps take him over the edge?
- Behind the Scenes Action: Go on set with Johnny Thyme as he jumps off the Empire State Building and fights on the wing of a biplane--all while the real star, Ricky Corvette, takes the credit.
- A Dangerous Family Legacy: Johnny's father was a legendary stuntman, but his final daredevil act was fatal. Now, Johnny has to decide if honoring his dad is worth risking his own life.
- Facing Your Fears: From school bullies to the one stunt that terrifies him most, Johnny has to find a new kind of courage that has nothing to do with jumping off buildings.
- Hollywood Secrets: Discover the secrets of the movie business, where a teen superstar can fake his own stunts and a quiet kid from school is the real action hero.
