About the story…
Note:
Reading the newspaper is part of the plot!
When a prank goes awry, 10 year-old Jamie finds himself in the
middle of a flower garden––and in a whole lot of trouble! During
summer vacation Jamie finds the wrong kind of excitement with his
new friends, Billy and Josh. When the three boys race their bikes
down a steep hill, Jamie lands in a “thorny” situation. He lands in
Mrs. Garcia’s rose bush and ruins her flowers with his bike!
Mrs. Garcia, a former librarian of the “old school” persuasion,
insists that Jamie make restitution by restoring the garden.
Reluctantly, Jamie agrees.
While working in the garden, something amazing happens. Jamie finds
a strange-looking caterpillar there. But this caterpillar is no
ordinary bug––it’s a Reading Bug with a hidden talent!
Jamie discovers the caterpillar’s extraordinary talent while reading
aloud. Wonder of wonders––the caterpillar begins to dance. The bug
loves reading so much that it literally dances for joy!
 But,
Sidney’s joy is cut short when tragedy strikes! Billy sets out to
catch the dancing caterpillar in a jar and in the process; Billy may
have “accidentally” stepped on the bug!
Find out how both Sidney and Jamie go through a metamorphosis in
this heartwarming serial story by award-winning, author Mary Maden!
