Each Tuesday a member of The Indie Exchange will be sharing their trailer and the story behind it. This week, it’s Karen Pokras Toz and the trailer for Nate Rocks the Boat .
Karen Pokras Toz says: “I admit right off that I have zero talent or ability when it comes to making a trailer. So, when it came time to make a trailer for my new book – the second in the Nate Rocks series – Nate Rocks the Boat – I went with Daniel Bautz, thanks to a friend’s recommendation. I told Daniel what I wanted – upbeat music, camp theme, fun, funny, and kid friendly. It only took Daniel two tries (and to be fair – he had 97% nailed it on the first attempt.) I’m really pleased with how the trailer came out. I love it, and I hope you will too! ”
The Adventure Continues… With fourth grade finally winding down, 10-year-old Nathan Rockledge is looking forward to a fun and relaxing summer at home with his friends. That is, until his mom decides he has to go to overnight camp with his annoying older sister. When his best friend Tommy decides to tag along, Nathan thinks maybe his summer won’t actually be so bad. After all, he does get to be away from his mom’s awful cooking for an entire six weeks.
Amongst Color War competitions, a flaky counselor, and a bully named “No-Neck,” Nathan turns to his trusty sketchpad, transforming himself into Nate Rocks: 10-year-old extraordinaire. His speedboat ready for action, Nate saves the day time and again from the perils of floods, snakes, ghosts, and even the most wanted criminals.
Join Nathan, Tommy, Abby, and a whole new cast of characters as Nate Rocks once again proves nothing can hold him back.
