![]() And what she comes up with in the end is pretty impressive - and very Clementine-ish - and quite delightful. ![]() After her teacher announces that the third and fourth graders will be putting on a talent show, Clementine panics. Will she be able to find a talent for the show in the end? Of course. This New York Times bestselling chapter book series has been keeping readers engaged and laughing for more than a decade with over one million copies sold When it comes to tackling third grade, Clementine is at the top of her game-okay, so maybe not all the time. Of course none of these work, and as the date for the talent show creeps closer, the stress (for Clementine, as well as for the reader) mounts. So, in her own unique and hilarious way, she sets about trying to find a talent to share for the show, from begging her friend Margaret - who has talents to spare - to borrow a talent from her (in which she glues beer bottle caps - the bottles were full - to the bottom of her sneakers) to attempting to create her own talent (in which she puts a leash on her baby brother, whose name she keeps changing to different vegetables, in order to have a trained dog). Which is all fine and good, except Clementine doesn’t have a talent. ![]() ![]() All the grades are pairing up to do something (car wash, bake sale), and the third and fourth grades are having… a talent show (“Talent-Palooza, Night of the Stars!”).

After Clementines teacher announces the upcoming talent show, dubbed the Talent-palooza, Clementine is thrown into a panic, realising that she cant dance. ![]()
