Great book!, July 9 2003
This review is from: Samantha's Special Talent (Hardcover)
This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Samantha Parkington, a nine-year-old orphan girl living in the America of 1904. In this book, when Samatha sees the sad state that the public library has fallen into, she decides to do something to help - she decides to organize a talent show! However, organizing the show takes up all of Samantha's time, leaving her no time to prepare something to perform. Unable to think of a special talent that she can show off at the show, Samantha begins to feel bad. But, it appears that she has not realized just what a good talent she does have...
The final chapter of this book is a fun look at vaudeville (very popular in 1904), and has instructions for learning how to juggle! My twelve-year-old daughter enjoyed this book a lot, and I liked the message that it taught. We both recommend this book to you.
