Speaking in front of an audience terrifies Trisha. Ending up in Mr. Wayne's drama class is the last thing she wants But Mr. Wayne gives her a backstage role painting scenery for the winter play. As she paints, she listens to the cast rehearse, memorizing their lines without even realizing it. Then, days before opening night, the lead actress suddenly moves away, and Trisha is the only other person who knows her part. Will the play have to be canceled? It won't be an easy road--when Trisha tries to recite the lines in front of the cast, nothing comes out But Mr. Wayne won't let her give up, and with his coaching, Trisha is able to become one of his true masterpieces.

From the earliest days of her publishing career an enthusiastic and spirited speaker, she has visited over one hundred classrooms each year, not only speaking but listening to the hundreds of children that she meets. How she learned to speak in front of an audience may well be her most important personal story. She lives in Union City, Michigan, where she is not shy about speaking to the myriad children who come to visit her and the famous meteor, the object of one of Patricia's best-known stories.
