Rich and Famous — James Lincoln Collier

THE BOY NEXT DOOR
After discovering him during a six-second spot on television, George Stable's agent devises a plan to launch George's music career as the hot new "Boy Next Door." Unfortunately, his dad has other plans for the summer, and George is shipped off to stay with his creepy cousin in upstate New York. Still, he manages to get started on the road to fame and fortune, as well as get himself into (and out of) close calls with some pretty shady characters in this sequel to The Teddy Bear Habit.
