The Ineffable Quality of Caterpillars
Middle Grade Contemporary: Selected for AMM Round 8
Trailer created by @Mrs_E_Kane
When 12 year old Thea is diagnosed with cancer, she discovers nothing is certain. Not her future, not her blood counts,
not even her relationship with her best friend, Maribel. It’s a good thing Thea has her caterpillars.
Because Caddie, Blackwell, and Pythia aren’t ordinary caterpillars.
They can tell the future.
Thea knows this sounds crazy, so she keeps it a secret. But when the caterpillars’ power of prediction falters and a serious accident occurs, Thea must undergo a metamorphosis in how she sees her friendships and the world around her.

Ripple DePue's Kindness Crew
Middle Grade Contemporary
Ripple DePue has a big problem. She needs to do five hours of volunteers by Friday, or else she won’t be eligible for the academic camp of her dreams.
Since no one is letting a seventh grader volunteer anywhere, Ripple comes up with a desperate plot. She’ll make up her own club, the Kindness Crew, and sign off on the hours herself. But when the so-called school bully discovers this deception and blackmails her, Ripple will have to lie, steal, and cheat in order to keep the truth hidden. Is it worth it?
