Nona was excited! She’d been practicing, you know. Tomorrow was the annual Littlewood Talent Show! But when Nona’s turn came… Just before she went to sing… Something stopped her in her tracks…Her chest began to sting!

Nona had been feeling super-duper great about her singing all week. But then she saw all the amazing things the rest of the Hip Hop Littles were doing... She watched Wan share incredible photos…She watched Zoey model fantastic outfits. She watched Rain DJ, Alison dance, and Jordan paint graffiti. They were all so wonderful that she suddenly felt very anxious. She didn’t want to sing anymore. What on Earth was she going to do?
