Ellen Thompson.
Everyone has a "best thing"--everyone, it seems, except Cody. With only two weeks to prepare for the third-grade talent show, Cody's hopes of discovering what he is good at are repeatedly dashed. Duffey's subtle sense of humor, coupled with a deep empathy for the highs and lows of an ordinary third grader, warrant this fourth book about Cody its own humble place in the spotlight.
