BASIL'S SEARCH FOR MIRACLES When 12-year-old Basil’s mother forces him to transfer to a new school, Basil is miserable. But there is one glimmer of hope in his seemingly dreary future – the school has a newspaper looking for a new staff member. Basil has always dreamed of being a reporter, so he applies for the job on the first day of school and is thrilled when he is awarded a coveted position on the "St. Norbert's News" staff. But then Basil is given an overwhelming challenge -- he is assigned to write articles on religious issues for their parochial school. Basil is perplexed until a genius idea strikes him – to research real, modern miracles and write about them for the paper. Throughout Basil's Search for Miracles Basil writes on a different miracle for each issue of the paper while also dealing with his own personal struggles. At home he argues constantly with his stressed-out single mom; at school he struggles to avoid an undersized bully with a big ego while simultaneously trying to fit in with his new peers. When Basil tries to befriend Anthony, the socially-awkward artist of the newspaper who comes from an abusive home, Basil agonizes over how to help him. Anthony refuses to leave his life as he knows it until one day he strangely disappears and Basil fears the worst. When Basil discovers just what really happened to Anthony, he learns an important lesson about the true nature of miracles. Learn more at www.heatherzydek.com/basil. |
