Cookie Class

The Cookie Class is a story about the preparation of a spelling bee told by an exceptional young girl called Evelyn. Evelyn introduces the reader to a few of her friends throughout the story that she met by spending time in the Cookie Class with their teacher, Ms. Moon. At first glance, Evelyn and her friends in the Cookie Class seem like average students who have interests in soccer, snacking, and studying; but under the surface, they worry that what makes them different will lead to their social demise. Their differences include dyslexia, ADHD, and autism; however, to the naked eye, the characters in the story are typical children who have the same struggles as peers their age. The Cookie Class takes the audience on a journey of self-realization, empowerment, and acceptance of people with all exceptionalities through a young person trying to impress her school during a spelling bee!
