The Show Must Go On...

In showbiz, there are always little glitches that occur behind the scenes that are fixed in the nick of time. In SHOWTIME, number nine of Disney's ongoing book series based on the TV show, That's So Raven, that's exactly what happens. In part one, Raven's dad is scheduled to have an in-house appearance on the news, featuring his awesome culinary skills. Problem is, Cory's new friend from Florida tried to hypnotize Raven and Chelsea, which of course didn't work, but did manage to unknowingly hypnotize Mr. Baxter. The house is in an uproar trying to figure out the word to undo the damage before the news crew gets there. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen, and Raven and her mom are stuck with trying to work things out. As things start to get fishy, Cory manages to contact his friend and say the magic word. Whew! What a way to spend a couple of minutes, but it was worth it - Mr. Baxter got a permanent slot on the cooking segment of the news show. Part two features Raven and Chelsea as new reporters for the school paper. Although Raven doesn't' want to do sports, she receives a vision that lands her a front-page story. As a reward, the advisor grants Raven and Chelsea two tickets to the hottest concert in town. Unfortunately, the star reporter, Serena, reminds the advisor that Raven will miss the basketball game, and that is more important to the school paper. Raven gets a vision and knows what's going to happen. The biggest issue is, Serena overhears Raven telling Chelsea what will happen, and also her blunder of mentioning that she's psychic. With an evil reporter girl holding this piece of information over her head, how will Raven manage to unravel her vision? This book is very accurate in its similarities to the episodes on television. Packed with laughter and full color pictures, this is a recap that you don't want to miss! This is a great addition to any bookshelf, and a great way to promote reading.
