    About this ebook

    Zeke's teacher is at it again. This time, Mr. McNutty is making the whole class be in a talent show. Normally, Zeke wouldn't worry about having a great act, but something amazing is at stake: the winner of the talent show will get advice from reality TV star, Brassy Glass. Zeke can't sing, he can't dance, and he really can't juggle. So what can he possibly do to win a moment with his hero?

      Zeke Meeks vs the Super Stressful Talent Show - D.L. Green

      Copyright

      It started as an ordinary day at school. As usual, I doodled in my notebook, looked at the clock every minute, and ignored Mr. McNutty, my teacher.

      Then Mr. McNutty loudly cleared his throat. It sounded gross, like he was moving around a bunch of chewed up stuff inside his mouth.

      He said, Now that I have your attention, I have something exciting to tell you.

      I groaned. My teacher’s idea of something exciting was a lot different than my idea of something exciting. Here are some things that he had said were exciting:

      • My entire third grade class had to spend a week without TV, video games, and computers.

      • The weather was bad, so we had to stay inside at recess.

      • It was classroom cleanup day.

      Now do you see why I wasn’t excited?

      I raised my hand and said, We’ve already had the excitement of no TV, no recess, and no messy desks. What do we have to give up now? Food? Water? Breathing?

      Don’t be silly, Mr. McNutty said. "You won’t be giving up anything. You’re getting something: a class talent show. Isn’t that exciting?"

      No one responded. A class talent show was better than a week without TV. But it sure didn’t seem exciting.

      The show will be in two weeks. You’ll perform in the school auditorium. And it will be in the evening so all of your families can come, Mr. McNutty said.

      I ignored him after that, even more than usual. I did not want to go to my school at night. Being in school all day was bad enough.

      Rudy Morse asked the teacher, What’s the prize for winning the talent show?

      There’s no prize, Mr. McNutty said.

      No prize? No thanks, I said.

      It is a great opportunity to show your friends and family your talents, the teacher said.

      My friends and family already know what I’m talented at, Rudy said. Let me remind you.

      I know what you’re talented at. Please don’t remind me, I said.

      I don’t want a reminder, either, Aaron Glass said.

      But it was too late. Rudy let out a giant, loud, and extremely smelly fart. I should get a prize for showing off that talent, he said.

      Your prize for showing off that talent is to stay inside during recess today, Mr. McNutty said. Then he pinched his nostrils and fanned the stinky fart air away from his face.

      My cousin was in a talent show with a huge prize. She could have won half a million dollars, Aaron said.

      "Like the winner of that TV show, America’s Next Superstar?" I asked.
