Ellis Johnson Might Be Famous by Shawn Amos

Ellis Johnson Might Be Famous by Shawn Amos

This joyful and heartfelt sequel to the NAACP Image Award-winning Cookies & Milk is a story of fame, self-confidence, and second chances, based on author Shawn Amos's memories of growing up the son of Wally "Famous" Amos.

 

After the overnight mega success of his dad's cookie store, twelve-year-old Ellis Johnson is on top of the world. He's met celebrities, strangers stop "the Cookie Kid" on the street, and he's even headed to NYC to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with his dad. Ellis is ready for his star turn, playing harmonica on national television--until his big break turns into the most embarrassing moment of his life.

 

Ellis is sure everyone at home is judging him, and he can barely stand to show his face in school. To make matters worse, his dad is going gaga for a new girlfriend, and DJ Wishbone goes from being pushed out of his radio station ... to taking over Ellis's place in the store. Ellis's only bright spot is the loyal friends who have stayed by his side--and who, along with some new faces, might just be able to help Ellis with a daring plan to get his groove back. 



This charming, semi-autobiographical novel proves that anything is possible with good music, good friends, loving family, and great cookies.
