(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Ben Hatke. If Ellis can train a woolly worm to finish first in the town's Worm Festival Race, the prize money would enable his dad to get surgery he needs, and Ellis would swap his reputation as class clown for a more serious one. In this light novel, Ellis's character rings true, and Hicks unobtrusively includes classroom-friendly features, such as information about metamorphosis.
