Callie Cae and the
Co-op CATastrophe

by Katie O'Leary

Callie is seven, the middlest kid she knows, and pretty sure she's right about almost everything. She goes to co-op. Her mom is her teacher. Her brothers drive her absolutely crazy. And on the day she wakes up with the queasy feeling in her tummy, she probably should have stayed home.

Callie Cae and the
Co-op CATastrophe
Katie O'Leary
From Chapter 1
"I woke up with the queasy feeling in my tummy. My mom said it was maybe because I didn't drink enough water the day before, but I think it was because I ate four lollipops I found in my backpack and some of them didn't have the wrapper on. Mom didn't know about the lollipops so I just let her think it was the water thing."

Why Callie Cae

Finally — your kid
is the kid in the story.

Every middle grade book puts kids in school hallways, cafeterias, and school buses. Your kid has been reading about a world that isn't theirs their whole reading life — and nobody noticed that was worth fixing.

Callie Cae lives the life your kid lives. She goes to co-op. Her mom is her teacher. Her brothers are underfoot all day. Her world — the one you've chosen and built — is the world of this story. Your kid picks it up and thinks: that's me.

😤
She thinks she's right about everything
She's not. That's what makes her so funny. And so real.
🏠
She's a homeschooler, through and through
Co-op. Kitchen table school. Siblings all day. Her world is your kid's world.
❤️
She loves her family fiercely
Even her brothers. She'd never admit that. But she does.
📓
She's going to be a famous writer someday
Or a life coach. She's very good at fixing other people's problems. She used to charge for it.
