Talent Trouble

Everyone in Eli's class seems to have a talent. Everyone except Eli.

Ava has music. Noah has drama. Leo has footy. Sienna can turn a paint disaster into a galaxy. Even Miss Stuckey has plenty of talents—along with novelty socks, mysterious rubber ducks and a very sensible fear of ibises.

With the class talent show approaching, Eli tries music, drama, footy, making and even a short Auslan welcome. He can do lots of things—but he isn't the best at any of them. And if a talent doesn't earn applause, does it still count?

As plans unravel and his classmates need help, Eli begins to notice something everyone else has missed.

Talent Trouble is a funny, warm and inclusive illustrated chapter book about finding your strengths, helping others shine and discovering that there is more than one way to be talented. Perfect for independent readers aged 7–10 and for reading aloud at home or in the classroom.
