Book Overview

by Chad Morris (Author), Shelly Brown (Author)

Based on a true story.

Twelve-year-old Maddie has a quirky sense of humor and loves making her classmates laugh by slapping on fake mustaches every chance she gets. Being funny gets her noticed by class queen Cassie, and things are looking up when Maddie is cast as Juliet in the school play. Maybe Juliet could wear a mustache?

When Maddie starts tripping when she walks and her hand starts curling up at her side, her mom takes her to the doctor, who confirms Maddie has a brain tumor. In an instant, her world is turned upside down.

Maddie doesn't want anyone else to know. Especially Cassie, whose jealousy has turned to bullying. What about Maddie's chance to play Juliet opposite the cutest boy in the sixth grade? What if the doctors can't get the ugly tumor monster out of her brain?
As Maddie's surgery approaches, she wonders if her illness is giving her super powers because her imagination is bigger than ever, her courage is stronger than ever, and her compassion is about to be felt by more people than she ever imagined.

Author Biography

Chad Morris and Shelly Brown are the proud parents of four sons and one daughter, Maddie, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was nine.
Chad grew up wanting to become a professional basketball player or a rock star. Neither of those plans quite panned out, so he wrote and performed sketch comedy while going to college. Now he's a teacher and a writer.
Shelly loves to write books for children. In her spare time, she enjoys the theater and traveling. In addition to her five children, she has three chickens and sixty-four Pez dispensers.

About Chad Morris
Chad Morris loves hiking in the wild from the redwoods to slot canyons. He even wrote parts of this book on an overlook in the mountains, and others in the small woods behind his and Shelly's house. He loves the views, the animals, and the adventure. But unlike Shelly, he can't tell you the names of most plants and trees. And if he tried to live in the wild, he'd probably accidentally eat poison roots and trip into a bear. (Not to mention the terrible sunburn he'd get on his bald head.) But he still loves spending time in nature, especially with his wife, Shelly, and their five kids.
About Shelly Brown
Shelly Brown loves the smell of dirt and pine and looked up to the rangers she met as a kid. She wanted to be one until her mother reminded her that she talks too much and would scare away the wildlife. So instead, she writes children's books with her husband, Chad, so she has someone to talk to. And sometimes they sit down and write in places where it smells like dirt and pine. (Big thanks to whoever invented laptops!)
