Summary: Good Short Story
Review: I decided long ago to quit collecting the American Girls Short Stories books. But every once in a while, I find one that I like, and this is one of them. In the story, Samantha decides to set up a talent show to help the Mt. Bedford Library. But she can't seem to find a talent of her own, that is until the day of the show. The peek into the past includes a history of vaudeville acts and actors, and the activity teaches readers how to juggle. I recommend this book to fans of the American Girls Collection.

Summary: Great book!
Review: 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.
