When Rhino and Cooper overhear their shy teammate, Carlos, singing in the dugout, they are amazed at how good he is! There's a talent show coming up at school and Carlos just might be good enough to win it. They decide to form a band with Carlos as the lead singer, Cooper on drums, and Rhino on the guitar.
But Rhino hasn't told his friends that he has only just started taking guitar lessons. He knows a few notes, which is very different from playing a full song. Between schoolwork, baseball practice, and the talent show . . . will Rhino be able to learn in time?
A lifelong dork, Ryan is a Southern California native who is proud to have been a pizza delivery driver for most of his adult years. In his free time, he enjoys watching TV, reading, and trying to write stories. VIOLENT NIGHTS is his first book.
87 pages. Good story - the series continues when Rhino discovers his friend Carlos can sing and suggests he enter the school talent show. Rhino helps out with the guitar - but is still learning how to play it. Lots of positive messages of teamwork and gaining confidence throughout. Highly recommended for Grades 3-5.
