Scrappy Little Nobody Audiobook (Free)

THE BRAND NEW York Times bestselling collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award­-nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Great.

Even before she made a name for herself over the big screen starring in films like Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air, Twilight, and In to the Woods, Anna Kendrick was unusually small, strange, and “ten percent defiant.”

In the ripe age of thirteen, she had already resolved to “keep carefully the crazy inside my mind where it belonged. Forever. But about Scrappy Small Nobody here’s the thing about crazy: It. Desires. Out.” In Scrappy Little Nobody, she invites visitors inside her mind, sharing amazing and charmingly ordinary tales with candor and winningly wry observations.

With her razor-sharp wit, Anna recounts the absurdities she’s experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture as only she can-from her unusual way to the performing arts (Vanilla Ice and baggy neon pants may have played a role) to her double life as a middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her initial “dating experiments” (including only liking boys who didn’t like her back) to reviewing a binder full of butt doubles to her battle to live as an adult woman instead of a perpetual “man-child.”

Enter Anna’s globe and follow her rise from “scrappy little nobody” to somebody who dazzles in the stage, the display, and today the page-with an electric, singular voice, simultaneously familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and serious (good, not that serious).
