Our Story Begins: Your Favorite Authors and Illustrators Share Fun, Inspiring, and Occasionally Ridiculous Things They Wrote and Drew as Kids edited by Elissa Brent Weissman
From award-winning author Elissa Brent Weissman comes a collection of quirky, smart, and vulnerable childhood works by some of today’s foremost children’s authors and illustrators—revealing young talent, the storytellers they would one day become, and the creativity they inspire today. [anthology, ages 8 and up]
The Short Seller by Elissa Brent Weissman
A twelve-year-old takes on the stock market in this money-minded middle grade novel that Publishers Weekly calls “a smart pick.”
It all starts when seventh grader Lindy Sachs is granted one hundred dollars and access to her father’s online trading account as a way to alleviate her boredom while she’s home sick from school.
Lindy learns something immediately—she is very, very good at e-trading. Her one hundred dollars soon becomes two hundred dollars. Then four hundred. And more. With trading talent and access to her parents’ savings, the opportunity to make some real dough is too tempting to pass up. In fact, given how well Lindy’s stocks are doing, it would be a disservice to not invest it all…Right? [chapter book, ages 8 and up]
Nerd Camp by Elissa Brent Weissman
Ten-year-old Gabe has just been accepted to the Summer Center for Gifted Enrichment. That means he’ll be spending six weeks at sleepaway camp, writing poetry and perfecting logic proofs. S.C.G.E. has been a summer home to some legendary middle-school smarty-pants (and future Jeopardy! contestants), but it has a reputation for being, well, a Nerd Camp. S.C.G.E = Smart Camp for Geeks and Eggheads.
But is Gabe really a geek? He’s never thought about it much—but that was before he met Zack, his hip, LA-cool, soon-to-be stepbrother. Gabe worries that Zack will see him only as a nerd, until a wild summer at camp—complete with a midnight canoe ride to “Dead Man’s Island”—helps Gabe realize that he and Zack have the foundations for a real friendship. [chapter book, ages 8 and up]

“Which book bundle is your first choice?” Of the three books, it would be especially interesting to see “Our Story Begins.” I love talented illustrators, and it’s fun to hear about other people’s experiences!
Hi John,
It’s a great book! My son and I just finished it.
I love the title of the book! Kudos to the author.
Hi Dee,
It does sound interesting for a book title. Kind of science-y or math-y but leaves you wondering.
What an awesome group of books to manifest the brains of our future generation!
Thanks Julie!
the Length of a string looks like an awesome story.
Hi Jen,
I am excited for it!
I’m intrigued by “Our Story Begins”. That new book cover is stunning.
Hi MaryAnne,
My son really enjoyed it. It’s a book that you can jump around from chapter to chapter to find the authors and illustrators that you recognize via their books. We did end up reading the entire book though which was nice. Each story is so unique.
The Length of a String sounds great. I have never read Nerd Camp, but have to add that to my list, too.
Hi Lisa,
My son thinks Nerd Camp is so funny!
The Length of a String looks very interesting.
Thanks Elisabeth!
I think The Length of a String would be my top choice. My runner up choice would be Nerd Camp because it look and sounds like a really cute and fun read. ^_^
Hi Gia,
Thanks so much for entering!
Our Story Begins would be my first choice.
Thanks for entering Terry!
