Everyone is afraid of something. For me it’s snakes and spiders. For my mom it’s driving. For you it could be mean dogs or lightning storms. Being afraid is perfectly normal. It is only bad when your fear keeps you from enjoying life like it did for poor Twitchly Fidget. Twitchly is a lemur that is afraid of everything. He won’t shampoo his hair because he is afraid that it won’t rinse out and birds will be attracted to his head. He won’t eat cereal because he is afraid that the crunchy noises might make him jump and hit his head. He won’t wear sneakers because he’s afraid that he may put them on the wrong feet. He won’t celebrate the holidays with his fellow lemurs because he’s afraid that something might happen. So poor Twitchly sits alone in his dreary, windowless, door less hut and waits for the worst to happen. Until one day his Aunt Bridget Fidget drops by and changes everything. To find out how Aunt Bridget turns everything around and saves Twitchly from his fears, read Something Might Happen by Helen Lester.  (Zina L. Watkins, University of South Carolina)
