Hari Kumar, Ultimate Superstar
About this audiobook
Meet HARI KUMAR, superstar-in-the-making, in this laugh-out-loud diary series for 8+ readers.
Hari Kumar: 10 years old, 75% Indian, 25% French, and 100% going to be a superstar. All Hari needs to make it big is a lucky break – a chance to get his name out there. And when that break arrives in the form of a film festival competition at school, it’s Hari’s chance to shine.
But life isn’t always like the movies. The new kid Hari thought would be his sidekick turns out to have the makings of a true villain, the crack team he’s assembled have minds of their own, and censorship (in the form of the Deputy Head Teacher) is looming. Can Hari keep things together and pull off an epic comeback, or will his film-making debut be cancelled before it’s even released...?
Packed full of friendship and draaaaama, this series is perfect for fans of TOM GATES and LOKI!
