In her second adventure, Clementine is the only untalented student in her third-grade class, with the talent show fast approaching. She hints that her family may be leaving Boston and moving to Egypt on Friday if her father takes the building manager job at the Great Pyramid, but her teacher just laughs. Her friend Margaret offers her tap-dancing lessons, but her improvised beer-cap tap shoes don't work. Her baby brother (variously called by vegetable names) always laughs when she sings like Elvis, but her parents veto the leash she needs to keep him on stage. It's Mrs. Rice, the principal, who finally shows everyone where the child's talents lie.

在三年级，克莱曼婷成了全校的明星——好吧，也许一开始并不是这样。老师宣布三年级和四年级的学生要举办一场才艺秀后，克莱曼婷慌了。她既不会唱歌，不会跳舞，也不会演奏什么乐器。她甚至做不好单脚跳。似乎这些还不够让她难过，她那完美无缺的好朋友，玛格丽特，却有那么多才艺，多得要按字母顺序排列起来才能数清楚。随着“才艺大擂台”之夜越来越近，克莱曼婷千方百计要找到一个自己能表演的节目，什么节目都行，结果一切努力都落空了。然而，最终她出人意料的才艺展示，让所有的人大吃一惊，包括她自己。
