#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!!”
