Julia Gillian (and the Art of Knowing)
Preview: Hear it

A new middlegrade heroine is born! The first story in an extraordinary new series by a New York Times bestselling author. Tenyearold Julia Gillian knows everything about her quirky neighbors, her Minneapolis neighborhood, even the inscrutable claw machine in the back of the corner hardware store. The one thing Julia Gillian doesnt know is how the book shes reading is going to end. It doesnt seem as if its going to have a happy ending, and that scares her. But Julia learns a little something about fear sometimes you just have to work through it. And though bad things do happen sometimes, having good friends and family around you makes life a bit less scary and much more fun.
