48 Hours by Marie Mitchell and Mason Smith

By Marie Mitchell & Mason Smith
Illustrated by Ryan Lanigan

Published in August 2009

Lights! Camera! ACTION!

Two Northern Kentucky teenagers are racing against the clock to write, shoot, edit, and produce a short Detective movie in just fortyeight hours. It’s a family affair for Marlowe and his sister, Isabelle, whose parents created the Scene Stealers—one of the thirty-two amateur teams competing in a national film contest in Cincinnati.

Nothing follows the script, though, as precious minutes tick away. The team suffers setbacks from thunderstorms, a ditsy actress who flubs her lines, and the theft of a valuable prop—a family jewel that may once have belonged to a Russian princess.

With all these delays, can the Scene Stealers finish the film on time? If so, will it be a memorable movie or a forgettable flop?

To find out if there’s a happy ending: buy this book, then grab some popcorn, settle into a comfortable chair, and don’t stop reading until after the credits roll.
