A girl with the ability to borrow other people' s talents must use her powers to find her own spotlight in The Talent Thief, a wish-fulfilling middle-grade novel from Mike Thayer, the author of The Double Life of Danny Day. Tiffany Tudwell is cursed. She once tripped over a backpack and fell face-first into a trashcan. She had pink eye on picture day. One time she tried to hold back a sneeze and farted on the cutest boy in class. She longs for the spotlight, but it' s safer to stay hidden in the shadows where the curse can' t reach her and no one can make fun of her. Until the night two meteors collide over her backyard giving Tiffany the ability to steal people' s talents for a day--like stealing mean girl Candace' s beautiful singing voice in the middle of play rehearsal, or drawing an incredible self-portrait after borrowing the teacher' s pencil. Her power even gets the attention of the most popular boy in school, the smooth-talking Brady Northrup. But her powers can' t solve everything--or can they? When a local philanthropist announces a fundraiser contest, Tiffany, with Brady' s help, decides to use her powers to save her dad' s failing planetarium. And maybe discover her own talent along the way. . .
Mike Thayer, author of The Double Life of Danny Day, is a proud father of three, lucky husband of one, passionate author, budding podcaster, lifelong gamer, viral blogger, degreed engineer, decent impressionist, inept hunter, erstwhile jock, and nerd. He has cast a ring on the slopes of Mt. Doom, eaten a feast at the Green Dragon Inn, cemented Excalibur in a sandstone block, tasted butter beer at Diagon Alley, built a secret door to his storage room, and written a few fantasy books. What else is left, really?
