Boogie Bass feels like he can't do anything right, but when he joins
an after-school American Sign Language club, he turns out to be a
natural!
The After-School Superstars--Nixie Ness, Vera Vance, Nolan Nada, and
Boogie Bass--are back in a new after-school adventure starring Boogie.
He is clumsy and goofy, but now that he is at the American Sign Language
camp at his school, he finds his hidden talent. He may not believe in
himself, but the rest of his class does, especially when they visit a
school for the Deaf and Boogie leads the way with his exuberant
personality helping students to learn about each other and make new
friends.
Vetted by an expert from Gallaudet University and complete with
additional material full of facts about American Sign Language, Boogie
Bass is an excellent addition to The After-School Superstars series.
Each book features recurring characters and highlights one activity they
do at their after-school program, along with illustrations in black and
white. The series is perfect for fans of Judy Moody, Ivy and Bean,
and Clementine.
