Description
Fourteen year old Sal is shocked to see a huge lump traveling around his belly. Mom is horrified. His belly button explodes. They rush to the ER where the doctor is rather casual about the diagnosis. "The Exploding Belly Button" is one of 13 short stories in this collection for middle graders. Sweet, gross, horrifying, surprising, fun--it's all there for the reader who likes variety in his/her short reads. Historical fiction, fan fiction, memoir-all kinds for the curious reader. It's a "Baker's dozen" that will leave you wanting more.

Sandy Baker has always had a vivid imagination, and she has always loved writing. The two come together in this "Baker's dozen" collection of short stories. While Sandy grew up as an active, athletic tomboy, she always included reading, writing, and doodling in her quiet times. Like Becky Thatcher, she preferred to be climbing trees and paddling rafts! Since joining Redwood Writers in 2009, Sandy has written eight children's gardening books, a thriller, and one middle grade collection of short stories. Then came Gardens Around the Globe: A Coloring Book for Grownups and now, another collection of short stories for middle graders, The Exploding Belly Button. Sandy is immediate past president of Redwood Writers and was a Sonoma County Master Gardener for 17 years.
