Maddie’s not your typical fifth-grader. With an electric skateboard, a stuntman dad, and a head full of crazy ideas, she often finds herself on the wrong side of Principal Richardson—particularly when that tattletale Raquel is always trying to get her into trouble. After Maddie founds a playground society celebrating the noble art of falling onto heaped cardboard boxes, Principle Richardson challenges Maddie to please, please find a constructive outlet for her creativity. He knows just the thing: The Young Filmmaker of the Year Award. Unfortunately, things don’t exactly get off to a good start: Maddie’s adaptation of Red Riding Hood ends in an unscripted battle scene, and Rapunzel hits a wall when Maddie’s best friend Leila is left dangling above the playground by her hair. With the deadline swiftly approaching and Raquel’s smug taunting becoming too much to bear, Maddie will need every idea she can think of and every friend she can find to make sure her final movie, Cinderella, wows the judges—maybe then Principal Richardson will get off her back. Maddie Makes a Movie is the hilarious, heart-warming debut by Sonia Garrett, and is a must for young readers with big ideas (as well as the parents who fear them!).

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sonia Garrett has worked as a dancer, clown, actor, and Drama Teacher. She has run her own business as a franchise owner for Gymboree Play and Music, which means she did all the jobs that no one else wanted to do. And now she seems to have settled down to being a Mom, Montessori Teacher, storyteller and writer.

She is always up for an adventure and has found herself working in Morocco, riding camels in India, turning on Christmas Lights dressed as the White Power Ranger, and being photographed with a tiger.

She was born in England, moved to California when she was three weeks old, went to school in Australia, and spent most of her adult life in England where she graduated from the University of East Anglia with a BA (Hons) in Drama and English.

She lives in the gentle chaos of books and outdoor paraphernalia in Vancouver, Canada with her daughter and their French Bulldog, Toast. When she's not writing, Sonia enjoys skiing, hiking, live theatre, and meals with friends and family.

Maddie Makes a Movie is a wild ride... but loads of fun, too! (Maddie probably would have given me more gray hair than I already have, but... :-} ) As a former high school teacher, I knew a few students like her. ;-) Her never-say-die attitude is something we just might need a little more of in the world today. Brava, Ms. Garrett, and hopefully we'll see more of Maddie in the future, as irrepressible as ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Adult, Creative, Achieve your dream
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2019
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a cute story. Maddie isn't ur adorable kid. Her dad is a stuntman. Maddie is imaginative and fearless. She creates games, stories and scenarios without batting an eye. Because of her adventurous nature some of her ideas are not well received at school and by her classmates parents. She has had one too many close calls with stunts she has performed.

The principal decides that Maddie should submit her own original movie to the young adult awards...the theme fairytales.

Maddie does Cinderella. Her ideas as awesome and she puts alot of her creativity into it. But again her ideas can sometimes go to far.... read the story to see Maddie's zany adventures in making a movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful story!
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018
I don't have children or grandchildren; I bought Maddie Makes a Movie for a friend's two girls and ended up reading it myself! Right from when Maddie plans her first stunt, I can imagine a mid-grader (boy or girl) getting caught up in the fun, humour and excitement of this fast-paced story. Maddie is mischievous, bright and definitely a rule-breaker. Her larger-than-life personality comes through in this fast-paced tale.

I love that the author doesn't talk down to her readers but along the way she manages to get in a few teaching moments without it coming off as preachy or taking you out of the story. From beginning to end I found this a fun read. My only regret was not having a child to read it with!

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018
“Maddie Makes a Movie” is one of those memorable stories of childhood adventure. The exciting action and interesting characters in the book make it a real page turner! Mischievous Maddie and her friends explore many avenues of possibility as they work together to solve the problems that come their way. It is an engaging read that you feel compelled to finish once you start. Author Sonia Garrett has a real winner here and I hope we have not seen the last of the spirited Maddie!

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019
Maddie's stunts will have parents cringing and children laughing. Shouldn't we all live in that carefree age where nothing can stop us and where play and imagination are the centre of our universe? A great, fun read for children and parents alike. Can't wait to read more of Maddie's antics.

I purchased this book for my daughter and ended up reading it as well. It is extremely well written and holds your attention really well. I felt as if I was a 10 year old girl again, living the adventures that 10 year olds do; in their imaginations and in reality. Really enjoyed it.

I have bought a few of these books from Author Sonia Garrett. The series is fun and quirky and really appeals to the age it was written for. However, I am a lot older and enjoyed it very much.
