When The Spectacular Spencer Gray came out last month, I knew I had to get in touch with an old colleague. I wanted to ask the young filmmaker who made the book trailer for The Amazing Spencer Gray to turn her hand to the task again, this time for Spectacular.
The result? Well, today the book trailer had its global, red-carpet premiere as I showed it to several groups of students for Children’s Book Week events. They just loved it. I was asked to play it again … and found it hard not to dance as I watched it with them!
Thank you Mimi Helm and your wonderful team of actors, editors and producers for a genuinely speccie piece of work – again.
Spencer Gray is just an ordinary kid, but he manages to get into some pretty extraordinary situations. When Spencer stumbles on a sinister operation, his life goes into overdrive – midnight rescue missions, super-endangered animals, hair-raising adventures. To survive, Spencer will need to pull off something spectacular.
