The Talking Drum (the Osagie Twins, Book #2) - (The Osagie Twins) by Sophia Ezomoghene (Paperback)

About the Book

Twins Eddie and Nosa are challenged to perform at the school talent show. There is only one problem - Nosa doesn't think he has any talent. When Grandpa Sunny suggests he play the shekere, an instrument from Nigeria, Nosa agrees but struggles to play it well. Frustrated, Baba shows him a talking drum he played years ago in Africa to encourage him. It's a much cooler instrument to Nosa, but Baba warns him not to touch it. If you start playing this talking drum alone, people will begin dancing and wouldn't be able to stop. On the day of the talent show, Nosa sneaks the talking drum out of its case and into school and, as soon as he starts playing, people burst into dance. But they can't stop. What will Nosa do to stop the chaos and how much trouble is he in this time?
