Official synopsis Publisher
Third-grader Cody Michaels — the lovable protagonist in Hey, New Kid!, Virtual Cody, and Cody’s Secret Admirer — is back! The talent show is next Friday and Cody has only one problem — he doesn’t have an act. He looks to his parents for inspiration, but the family talents are too difficult (juggling), too embarrassing (yodeling), or too bizarre (clog dancing). Ultimately Cody decides to put his artistic ability to good use — he draws posters introducing each of the acts in the talent show.
