The Fabulous Zed Watson! By: Basil Sylvester & Kevin Sylvester

Genre:  Realistic Fiction 
Age Recommendation:  Grade 4+

Zed Watson is a non-binary tween who is about to go on the adventure of a lifetime in search of the unpublished book, The Monster's Castle.  The Monster Castle is a novel that was ahead of its time and because of this wasn't published, but hidden by the author, with only a few chapters available for readers to fall in love with.  Zed is obsessed with this book and when they find out that their neighbour, Gabe, is also a fan, the two work together to solve the clues left by the author in hopes of locating the complete novel.  After coming up with a route, the two just need to convince Gabe's older sister, Sam, to take them along on her road trip back to college in Arizona.  This is a fun adventure and both Gabe and Zed are likable characters.  Zed and Gabe are wonderful examples of being true to yourself.  To join this scavenger hunt, check this Silver Birch 2022 nominee today.
