Eighth grade sucks for Skyler Quinn, a lonely 12-year-old skateboarder. Messed-up teeth, thanks to a weird genetic disorder, impulsivity, and zero social life, are tough enough. Still, the possibility of losing her only friend, Ben, to Juvie is too much, especially when it's all her fault. Desperate to fix things, Skyler follows a series of clues leading to the legendary drama teacher, Ms. M, and her long-rumored secret club of kids struggling with issues of their own.

Along the way, they uncover the powers of her Moonstone Medallions, and their lives are changed forever.
Autorenporträt
Raising a child with ADHD, learning disabilities and a rare genetic disorder gave Susan the insight and inspiration for Skyler and the Moonstone Medallions. Her husband, John Chappelear wrote The Daily Six (G.P. Putnam's Sons), a program for creating positive, personal change using six simple principles. During the publication of a translation for his book, the concept of a version for children came up and so began Susan's decade long creation of Skyler, Ms. M and the other kids struggling to survive middle school. Writing is Susan's second passion. Her first was and continues to be Interior Design. Much of her career was spent in the Washington D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia area, which is the setting for Skyler and the Moonstone Medallions. She lives in Jacksonville, Florida with her husband, John and their rescue dog, Hitch, who hitched a ride with them following a Christmas visit with their daughter, Lisa and her family in Atlanta, GA. Their other daughter, Erin lives in Honolulu, HI with her family. The couple's son, Dayton resides in San Diego, CA with his rescue dog, Tuna and runs a skateboarding school. All three children are entrepreneurs, animal lovers and amazing human beings.
