Bookroo's summary

Marcus's first movie was a success, but creating a second one proves challenging. With his friends distracted by their own ambitions, Marcus faces the pressure of a big TV appearance. Can he navigate nerves and rivalry to achieve his Hollywood dreams, or will unchecked ambition derail his plans? Discover the power of creativity and friendship in this laugh-out-loud adventure.

From the publisher

From celebrity author Kevin Hart comes the laugh-out-loud highly illustrated sequel to Marcus Makes a Movie about a young boy who has big Hollywood dreams–and the hustle to make it happen. Everybody, grab a ticket and run for a front row seat to Marcus Makes a Movie! –Judd Winick, New York Times bestselling author of the Hilo series Marcus’s movie, Toothpick vs. the Doom, is a HIT! But the only thing harder than making a movie is making a SECOND one. Marcus needs to come up with another great idea fast. Too bad his film crew (aka friends) are too preoccupied with their MeTube channels to notice. An invite to The Helen Show has Marcus thinking they’ll be back on top, but will nerves, unchecked ambition, and a rivalry between friends shut down this show before it even begins? In the laugh-out-loud sequel, actor and comedian Kevin Hart delivers a message about being creative, working hard, and learning that sometimes the best dreams are the ones you achieve with your friends.
