Lucas Yao is a 10 year old boy who shows extreme talents in many areas. CTV News addressed him as the "All-Round Child Prodigy." Lucas is enjoying recent success, Guest Staring on Turner and Hooch and has a principal role for the upcoming Netflix Feature, Mixtape. He also did a COVID 19 commercial recently for the government of BC. He has already had multiple invitations to go perform at the Carnegie Hall for winning top awards for national/international music competitions. When he was 5, he was interviewed not only by CTV National News, but also made the headlines for The Vancouver Sun, The Province, The News, and Classic FM Radio. Lucas is also great with numbers. He can do multiplication and division when he was 3, learned to count in 11 languages when he was 4, and can recite pi up to 1000 digits at age 6. His art works were chosen to be displayed at the local art gallery when he was 4. When he was almost 5 and a half years old, he displayed interest in chess and has then advanced very quickly which earned him many medals and trophies. Lucas also loves to act. He is always super excited when there are auditions and works hard on each one of them. Casting directors/directors all love his sweet, mature personality. "He's a natural!" they would say when praising his acting skills.

The Magic School Bus is a series of children's books about science, written by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen. Designed for ages 6-9, they feature the antics of Ms. Valerie Felicity Frizzle and her class, who board a sentient anthropomorphic mini school bus which takes them on field trips to impossible locations, including the Solar System, clouds, the past, and the human body. The books are written in the first person from the point of view of an unspecified student in "the Friz's" class. The class has a pet lizard named Liz, who accompanies the class on their field trips.
