Rosie is a good writer, so how come she can’t come up with a single good story idea when her friend Wolfie has a million ideas? Rosie knows all the elements needed for a great story, but she wants her story for a class assignment to be really great—and that means giving it a surprise twist. Then Wolfie himself unwittingly inspires the perfect idea for the “twist” Rosie’s been looking for. But will using it make her story better or ruin her friendship with Wolfie? Author Maya Myers, former K-1 teacher and classroom literacy specialist, infuses this tale with clever curricula and captures the antics, excitement, drama, and hilarity of elementary school. Rich back matter offers additional curriculum support.

Maya Myers writes books for kids and edits books for kids and adults. She’s a former teacher and loves cooking, gardening, and (of course) reading—just like Rosie! Originally from Maine, she now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, author-illustrator Matt Myers, who has more ideas than Wolfie. They have three kids, six chickens, and a twenty-three-pound cat named Hoss.
