The Talented Clementine by Sara Pennypacker is a story about a girl named Clementine who runs into a problem. Her class is having a talent show and she has no talent! Clementine goes to her friend Margaret and asks her for an easy talent. Margaret goes through all of her talents and when she comes to tap dancing she lets Clementine try it out. Clementine makes her own tap dancing shoes out of beer bottle caps and gets in trouble for all of her creativity! Clementine also tries to bring her brother on a leash because she can really make him smile but that doesn’t work. What will Clementine do?! Once that problem’s solved you’ll want to read all books in the Clementine series!
