Stars and Sparks on Stage (Ziggy / Black Dinosaurs) V6 [Paperback]

Sharon M. Draper (Author), Jesse Joshua Watson (Illustrator)

Book Description

The Black Dinosaurs Have Got The Moves!

Ziggy, Jerome, Rashawn, and Rico are sure they're going to win the $200 first prize in the upcoming school talent show. With their exuberant singing (especially Ziggy's), energetic dancing, and glittery costumes, how can they lose? And they have big plans for using the prize money to fix up their backyard clubhouse.

But then they meet a little girl with a big voice who may have what it takes to beat the Black Dinosaurs -- and who needs the money far more than they do. It's hard to know whom to root for -- how can everyone emerge a winner?
