Zac Efron went from being an ordinary dork to the big time. This book tells about his many attempts to the big time and being turned down time, after time. He got a role on Summer-land in his early career. It was planned to just be a guest star appearance but, he got his self a permanent spot on the show. He had finally become a star. Then Summer-land got cancelled, but he had a taste of the big time. Then he landed himself a role on the movie Miracle Run. He played an autistic boy with an autistic twin. He was nominated for the Young Artist of the Year award for his role in the film. He started shooting a movie called the Derby Stallion. Zac played a 15 year old boy who rides horses. So he had to learn how to ride a horse at first he didn't really think he would like riding horse, but after a few times of falling off the horse he finally enjoyed it. Two weeks after Summer-Land was cancelled there was an audition for high school musical, but he was not asked to audition his agent got him one. He made it to the top fifteen and was paired up with Vanessa Hudgens and they immediately had chemistry. The directors noticed that. After two weeks of waiting they got good news that they had got the parts. During the movie his voice began to changes and he had to admit that he did not do all of his own singing. After the movie was shown on television, he was recognized everywhere. He decided he had to give up his personal life. He finally was a star! If as a little kid you were as obsessed with High School Musical as much as I was you will love this book. It’s an amazing biography about an average boy who turns into a star. Be sure to read Zac Efron.
