From critically acclaimed author Barbara Dee comes a middle grade novel about a girl whose struggles with anxiety and writers block set off unexpected twists and turns, both on and off the page. nLyla is thrilled when her seventh-grade English language arts class begins a daily creative writing project. For the past year, shes been writing a brilliant fantasy novel in her head, and heres her chance to get it on paper! The plot to Lylas novel is super complicated, with battle scenes and witches and a mysterious one-toed-beast, but at its core, its about an overlooked girl who has to rescue her beautiful, highly accomplished older sister. n nBut writing a fantasy novel turns out to be harder than simply imagining one, and pretty soon Lyla finds herself stuck, experiencing a panic she realizes is writers block. Part of the problem is that shes trying to impress certain people--like Rania, her best friend whos pulling away, and Ms. Bowman, the coolest teacher at school. Plus, theres the pressure of meeting the deadline for the town writing contest. A few years ago, Lylas superstar teen sister Dahlia came in second, and this time, Lyla is determined to win first prize. n nFinally, Lyla confides about her writing problems to Dahlia, who is dealing with her own academic stress as she applies to college. Thats when she learns Dahlias secret, which is causing a very different type of writers block. Can Lyla rescue a surprisingly vulnerable big sister, both on the page and in real life?n
