I have been a fan of [a:Dean Pitchford|392832|Dean Pitchford|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309176181p2/392832.jpg] since I read his book [b:Captain Nobody|6987801|Captain Nobody|Dean Pitchford|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355837781s/6987801.jpg|6537811]. I laughed out loud when I read [b:The Big One-Oh|7942383|The Big One-Oh|Dean Pitchford|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355839254s/7942383.jpg|727404] and had to share the audiobook with my family. Discovering that [a:Dean Pitchford|392832|Dean Pitchford|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309176181p2/392832.jpg] also wrote the movie Footloose and co-wrote the songs for the movie with songwriters Eric Carmen, Michael Gore, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins, Tom Snow and Bill Wolfer - plus he wrote the song Fame among even more others - only endeared him to me more.

[a:Dean Pitchford|392832|Dean Pitchford|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309176181p2/392832.jpg]'s latest book [b:Nickel Bay Nick|20821289|Nickel Bay Nick|Dean Pitchford|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1407108212s/20821289.jpg|24362181] is an adventurous and fun coming of age story. The main character Sam gets through his worst Christmas in a down-on-its-luck town only to have an even worse December 26th. It doesn't help that a local hero from past Christmases fails to show up to bring hope, inspiration, and Christmas spirit to the little town. Sam must learn spy skills and a few secrets to help his town and bring his family closer together.
