putting on a talent show to raise
money for the spring trip. She
can’t sing or dance or play an
instrument like her super talented
friend Margaret, and what talents
she does have would not work on
a stage. Clementine must find an
act, any act, to perform before the
night of the big show. But with
only a few days to do so, can
she put it together in time?
