A new book is set to hit the shelves, and it's all about a young girl's journey through science and friendship. The story follows Georgia, a sixth-grader who loves science and nature. She's not your average kid, though. Georgia has moved around a lot, so she's excited to stay in one place and make a friend who shares her passions. Enter Izzy, a fellow science enthusiast. But their friendship hits a snag when Georgia accidentally spills Izzy's secret, and another classmate tries to cause trouble. It's a tough spot, but Georgia comes up with a clever science-based solution that shows how much people have in common.

The book's creator has a soft spot for middle-grade stories. She believes these books have a unique heart and always offer a glimmer of hope. The writer is also passionate about biology and climate advocacy, which shines through in the story. The author hopes that "Georgia Watson and the 99 Percent Campaign" will inspire young readers and the adults in their lives to focus on what unites us rather than what divides us. This message is close to the author's heart, as she volunteers with an organization that aims to bridge political divides.

The idea for this book has been brewing for a while. The author first thought of it when her twin boys were in first grade. They're now about to graduate from college. This isn't the author's first rodeo in the world of children's books. She's previously written picture books and contributed to various children's magazines. Her love for teaching and storytelling makes her a natural fit for writing for young audiences.

The author's journey with this book is a testament to her dedication. She started volunteering with Braver Angels after the 2016 election, feeling a need to understand different perspectives. Through respectful discussions, she found that people aren't as far apart as they seem. This experience likely influenced the themes in her new book.

The book is scheduled to be published on October 14. It's a story that blends science, friendship, and a powerful message about unity. It's a reminder that even in tough situations, there's always a way to find common ground. The author's background in teaching and her passion for science and nature make this book a must-read for young adventurers.
