This book was great! I enjoyed seeing all the characters grow, and learn to change with the world. I enjoyed seeing how they helped each other as well, it was really cool to see how they interact and really try to lift each other up. This was a really good, uplifting book.

This was a heartwarming and interesting biographical read about Ellis Johnson, the son of the Famous Amos "Cookie King." His parents are divorced and he struggles to cope with his father beginning a new romantic relationship with a female airline pilot. As a result, Ellis and the pilot's daughter (Sarah) team up to scheme to break up their parents. Along the way, both kids learn the valuable life lesson that their parents' happiness is just as important as their own.

With his dad’s cookie business success, Ellis enjoys working in the store and is looking forward to attending the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. All’s good until Ellis attempts to play his harmonica on national television but falls off the float instead! Facing ribbing at school and his dad’s new girlfriend has him on edge. Ellis and the girlfriend’s daughter set out to break their parents up. Add a healthy dose of hysterical drama and you have a great middle-grade read for all ages. I love our main character, Ellis, he’s funny and relatable. What a great follow-up to book one, Cookies and Milk.

I was so pleased that I got on the Blog Tour for Ellis Johnson Might Be Famous which was the sequel to Cookies & Milk which I thoroughly enjoyed.


Ellis Johnson Might be Famous follows on where Cookies & Milk left off and here we find that Sunset Cookies is making a name for itself. We find all the past characters in the book which means that my fave character made an appearance and that character was Grandma. Boy her scenes made me LOL .

Even if there was so many happy scenes it was the sad ones where Ellis started being anxious that got me and boy did the tears come. This is down to Shawn's writing. I do hope there is another book as I would love to see what happens next.

Thank you Shawn for writing about your childhood.

For all the above reasons I am giving Ellis Johnson Might Be Famous 5 big fat stars
