Start giftingAyana Ndoum Takes the Stage (The Kids in Mrs. Z's Class #6)
Mrs. Z’s class is holding a variety show, and everyone has signed up to demonstrate their special skill! Everyone that is, except Ayana Ndoum. She’s good at reading, but someone’s already reciting a poem out loud. She’s good at synchronized swimming, but they can't get a pool onstage. What could her act be?
Before she can figure it out, she has an even bigger problem to deal with: Why is her dad at school?
Turns out her dad—a professor who gets excited about schedules and has lots of goofy sayings—is a variety show volunteer! He talks to everyone and asks too many questions. It’s embarrassing for Ayana, who likes to be quiet and help from the sidelines. With her dad taking up the spotlight, will she ever find her own way to shine?
