Book Blurb: A girl with the ability to borrow other people’s talents must use her powers to find her own spotlight in The Talent Thief, a wish-fulfilling middle-grade novel from Mike Thayer, the author of The Double Life of Danny Day. Tiffany Tudwell is cursed. She once tripped over a backpack and fell face-first into a trashcan. She had pink eye on picture day. One time she tried to hold back a sneeze and farted on the cutest boy in class. She longs for the spotlight, but it’s safer to stay hidden in the shadows where the curse can't reach her and no one can make fun of her. Until the night two meteors collide over her backyard giving Tiffany the ability to steal people’s talents for a day—like stealing mean girl Candace’s beautiful singing voice in the middle of play rehearsal, or drawing an incredible self-portrait after borrowing the teacher’s pencil. Her power even gets the attention of the most popular boy in school, the smooth-talking Brady Northrup. But her powers can’t solve everything—or can they? When a local philanthropist announces a fundraiser contest, Tiffany, with Brady’s help, decides to use her powers to save her dad’s failing planetarium. And maybe discover her own talent along the way...

Review:

A girl who believes she’s been cursed with bad luck suddenly finds herself with the ability to borrow people’s talents for a day and everything in her life is about to change as she tries to save her father’s planetarium. Tiffany Tudwell believes she’s been cursed, after her beloved grandmother has died Tiffany has had the worst luck from tripping on things to embarrassing herself and so much more. She’s had a rough year and it does not help that her bully has it out for her. When two meteors collide over her backyard and stardust falls on top of her and she makes a wish... Tiffany finds that she can steal people’s talents for a day. With this new found ability she can enter into a contest that could save her dad’s failing planetarium. Along the way she’ll receive help from an unlikely person, the cutest boy in school who is hiding his own motives, her friends in the Video Game Club, and her senior friends... and maybe just discover that despite all these powers and talents, what she truly needs is to discover her own talent and that her own talent will be the thing that saves the day. This was a super cute and magical story about growing up and about finding your own inner strength and talent. Tiffany has a lot to deal with but she’s always trying and is a really sweet protagonist. I love that we get to see her grow in her confidence and stand up against her bully as well as become more open to friendship.

1, 13, 15, 16 & 22!

1. Pleasantview vs Strangetown?

I know Strangetown is the fandom favorite, at least here on simblr, but Pleasantview was always my go-to for many, many years. I used to play sims just to play and not think, which I feel that with Strangetown, I have to think in order to give it justice. (This is just me, though! I’m not applying this to everyone else!) Since Pleasantview is the most “blank canvas” hood among the three BG hoods, you can do pretty much anything with it!

13. Favourite vacation hood? Twikkii Island, Three Lakes or Takemizu Village, and why?

Twikkii Island, because I love the beach. I don’t think I’ve sent my sims to the two other hoods. I just love the sound of waves and the water! I already live in a tropical country, but I live far from the beach, and I would really, really, like to go to a beach right now (curse you, Coronavirus!)

15. The weirdest glitch you’ve encountered

16. Who amidst the premades and within the original plot deserved better according to you?

Answered here!

22. A funny story connected to the game you can share

I used to play this legacy family many, many years ago (before I knew legacy challenges were a thing). The founders were Meadow Thayer and Orlando Centowski. Since they are both family sims, they rolled the want to have ten children. Some of the names of the children were: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Phineas, Ferb, and Candace. Yes, judge me 🙈
