Call the Shots (Swim the Fly #3)

Author(s): Don Calame

Young Adult Fiction

And . . . action! As the uproarious trio returns, sensitive Sean takes the spotlight -- scripting a low-low-budget film while fielding unexpected female fans.
Coop is cooking up another sure-misfire scheme (big surprise), and this time the comedy plays out from Sean's point of view. What's the new master plan? Making a cheapo horror movie guaranteed to make Coop, Sean, and Matt filthy rich! It's a terrible idea, and Sean knows it. But he actually "is "desperate for cash -- and for a way to wipe that big fat "L "off his girlfriend-less forehead. But when he agrees to write a script about the attack of zombie-vampire humanzees, he has no idea just how powerful a chick magnet this movie will be. Suddenly Sean is juggling not one but "three "interested ladies. There's his accidental-girlfriend-turned-psychotic-stalker, Evelyn. There's the wicked hot actress from drama class, Leyna, who seems willing to do anything to land the starring role. And even his twin sister's gothed-out best friend, Nessa, is looking at Sean in a whole new way. Will any of them wind up as Sean's true leading lady? Will Sean stop being a doormat and finally start calling the shots?

Coop's latest crazy plan is to make a cheap horror movie guarenteed to make himself and mates, Sean and Matt, filthy rich! It's a terrible idea and Sean knows it. But he's desperate for cash and for a way to wipe that big fat L off his girlfriend-less forehead. When Sean agrees to write a script about the attack of zombie-vampire humanzees, he has no idea just how powerful a chick magnet this movie will be. Suddenly Sean is juggling three interested ladies, including a stalker with a mean brother.

This sequel to the achingly funny Swim the Fly (Matt's story) and Beat the Band (Coop's story), wraps up Calame's raunchy insights into the lives of three awkward, crude, but surprisingly endearing, teenage boys.

For fans of the Spud series and readers aged 13 plus.
