The Talent Show

By Jo Hodgkinson, Andersen Press, hardback, 10.99

Four friends enter a talent show determined to win, but their band is without a singer. When auditioning to find a new band member, they reject a bird because he's so small, only to find no-one else fits the bill. Then a mysterious, tall stranger arrives at the door. Can he really deliver the missing sound? Fast, rhythmic text and the important message of judging people by their talent, not their size.
