#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ESCAPE FROM MR. LEMONCELLO'S LIBRARY AND THE SMARTEST KID IN THE UNIVERSE
“Trapped is a chaotic thrill ride, equal parts mystery, madness, and mayhem. Between the dancing dinosaurs and a Fruit Loop–throwing chicken, the imagination flies off the page, along with big laughs and an even bigger heart. Ms. Bella Olson has accomplished what most writers never achieve in a story with a fully actualized message: weird is the new cool! And she’s only eleven years old! Mind officially blown!!”
—Carlos Saldanha
DIRECTOR OF ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED FILM FERDINAND AND RIO
“A whimsical blend of science fiction, adventure, and fantasy.”
“An imaginative, big-hearted adventure that entertains first, but quietly encourages young readers to see their differences as strengths rather than flaws.”
"Recommended for kids who love fast-paced adventures, wild imagination, and stories where the main character thinks their way out of chaos instead of waiting for an adult to save them. Perfect for readers who enjoy jokes mixed with danger and don’t mind things getting a little weird."
