A Million Views Aaron Starmer

Brewster Gaines just wanted to make a video and get a million views - he didn't count on needing friends to get there. From the author of Spontaneous and the Locker 37 series comes a heartfelt story of friendship, family, and filmmaking.

Brewster Gaines loves everything about making videos. Coming up with new ideas, filming it just right, planning out exactly when to upload to get the best chance of views; he loves it all. So what if he doesn't have friends to work on videos with or parents that are home every night for dinner? He's got a phone that records and that's all he needs.

But when he decides to enlist the acting chops of new kid Carly to help him film a 10-second video, he soon gets a lot more than he bargained for when her friend Rosa steps in with funding to produce a fantasy movie trailer instead. As their tiny production team starts adding on more cast and crew from school and what started off as a simple video begins to mutate into a full-fledged short film, Brewster realizes that getting to a million views may be much harder than he imagined...
