Adam Shankman to Collaborate With Laura L. Sullivan On a YA Project
“In Shankman and Sullivan’s reimagining, set in Hollywood’s Golden Age, Lulu is a once-poor teen from New York City who, after a lucky break, finds herself working in Los Angeles as a successful starlet. Her partner and love interest, Freddie van der Waals, winds up out West after leaving his wealthy family, disgusted by the revelation that his father became rich through deceptive measures. In the first book, Lulu and Freddie meet and, after Lulu is hit with a bogus murder charge, team up to clear her name, while, as Atheneum noted, ‘they reluctantly fall in love.'” (Publishers Weekly)
