I Lived Through A Wind Chill Advisory

ONE POP-TART. ONE BET. A BLIZZARD OF CONSEQUENCES!

"Funny, heartfelt, and full of unexpected turns, this is a story about friendship, forgiveness, and the kind of courage that shows up when no one’s watching." — Kendy Pearson, Author

Thirteen-year-old Ray Larkin thought having twin baby brothers would be awesome. Turns out, they mostly cry, and Mom barely has time to look at him. To make things worse, his best friend Javier ditches him for the popular crowd. Ray’s solution? A Big Plan: buy the whole class Frappuccinos and pizza to win new friends.

But when a bet with a school troublemaker wipes out his savings, Ray’s plan starts to unravel. Next, he bites into Sophia’s Pop-Tart. She's one of the popular kids, and somehow Ray ends up teaming up with her to spend a mysterious stash of coins they find in an abandoned schoolhouse.

With a windchill advisory in effect and his baby brothers sick in the hospital, Ray faces a choice that could cost him his friendships—but might just help him find what really matters. And courage doesn't wait for perfect weather.
