The Zuzu Secret

Coming May 6, 2025. Pre-order today!

By: Miriam Chernick

Josie and Abe both have secrets to keep.

Josie Sherman is twelve and dreams of becoming a veterinarian. She jumps at the chance to rescue a stray bearded dragon. But because of her family’s no-pets rule, she must keep the lizard a secret.

Her fifteen-year-old brother Abe is a huge fan of the Baltimore Orioles and dreams of seeing a game at Camden Yards. But he was born with a rare disease called Prader-Willi syndrome which restricts his independence, and since they just moved to a new town, their parents are way too busy for baseball.

Can Josie and Abe work together and hatch a plan to achieve their dreams, even if it means sharing secrets that could get them in big trouble?
