Extravaganza at the Plaza (Raccoon River Kids Adventures, 2)

"An exceedingly gentle, optimistic story" -- BOOKLIST

The Raccoon River Kids are back with a new community project! Critics are calling this new chapter book for young activists "an exceedingly gentle, optimistic story"--perfect for readers learning about the power of young people.

The kids of Raccoon River are up to their ears in a brand new project: saving the town's old abandoned Plaza Theater. But first, they have to get a look inside. It's spooky--spider webs and creaky floors, and one slowly-swaying stage curtain. Lots of repairs and donations will be needed. Can the Plaza be saved?

Lauren L. Wohl tells a story of determination, cooperation, and more than little bit of luck where the kids of a small town make a real difference in their community, the first sequel to Blueberry Bonanza in the Raccoon River Kids Adventures series. Mark Tuchman illustrates the action with characterful drawings that enrich the tale.
