Audrey L and Audrey W: True Creative Talents (ePub)

For lovers of Ivy + Bean, Clementine, and Dory Fantasmagory, this adorable chapter book series is about the adventures of two best friends with the same name.

There's a lot going on in Room 19.
A sleepover? A talent show? And worst of all, new table groups?!

Audrey L and Audrey W were destined to be friends. They both love purple, they have the same stationery, and they have the same name-so of course! But this month, all of Audrey L's joy at finding her first best friend feels a little wobbly. When Room 19 switches seating order, she and Audrey W are separated by a whole classroom-and from where Audrey L's sitting, it looks like Audrey W is having a grand old time with . . . Bettina! Now Bettina's coming with Audrey W to the treehouse. Bettina's joining the Audreys' Talent Show act. Gosh, what ISN'T Bettina involved in these days? Can Audrey L welcome change into her newfound classroom calm? Or is this the beginning of the end?
This bighearted, laugh-out-loud chapter book will resonate with any young reader who's ever felt overlooked or second best. Book two in the Audrey L and Audrey W series, True Creative Talents breathes great gusto into the joys and traumas of elementary school drama.
