Etta Kett #13

Etta Kett wins a dream vacation to Hollywood after her fan letter to movie star Peter Van Guy is selected as his millionth piece of fan mail—but her excitement gets tangled up fast when the pesky Creepy Davis sneaks aboard her plane, determined to horn in on all the glamour. With studio parties, premieres, and a persistent pest at every turn, Etta's Hollywood adventure threatens to become a lot less starry than she imagined.

Etta Kett lands in Hollywood and meets movie star Pete Van Guy at a swanky splash party—only to find her evening complicated by a persistent pest intent on using her to break into the pictures himself. When Pete offers her a tour of the studio the next morning, Etta discovers that the glamorous life out west operates on a completely different schedule than back home, and she's got plenty of time to figure out what Pete Van Guy really means to her.

When Etta returns home from a whirlwind Hollywood trip with movie star Peter Van Guy, she's thrust into a completely different kind of drama: a campaign to become mayor during her school's "Youth Week." With new competition arriving in town—five knockout sisters who've got the local boys tied up in knots—Etta has to decide if she's got what it takes to win an election, especially when she enlists her old pal Randy as her campaign manager. It's a lesson in love and local politics when Etta discovers that stardom might pale next to the real-world stakes of winning hearts and votes back home.

During Youth Week, Etta Kett launches a spirited campaign to become the week's "Mayor" with her manager Ricky Stevenson in her corner, scrambling for campaign funds and dreaming up creative ways to win votes. Between recording campaign speeches (that never quite turn out as planned) and rallying her friends with impromptu cheerleading tactics, she discovers that running for office—even a temporary one—is messier and funnier than she expected. When election night arrives, Etta finds herself facing an unexpected opportunity that tests whether her youthful optimism and nerve can tackle something far more serious than a school popularity contest.

When Johnny Martin tries to impress Etta Kett with detective work and tall tales, he manages to make the teen girl jealous of the one boy she actually likes—dapper Mike Masters—setting off a chain of mix-ups and misunderstandings that keeps the romantic chaos spinning. As schemes and rumors collide, both boys find themselves scrambling to figure out who's really got whom hooked, and whether the truth will settle things or just make them messier.
