A middle grade novel by Kate Egan, Golden Ticket, explores
friendship, academic anxiety, and what it means to be special.
"It's practically like a private school," Mrs. Silver said
bitterly. "The best teacher, for such a tiny group of students. Who
wouldn't succeed in a class like that?" She took off her sunglasses
to glare at the dad. "Those kids get picked out when they're seven
years old, and they get handed a golden ticket. Of course they
become stars." Eleven-year-old Ash McNulty is one of the "gifted
and talented" kids at her school, spending most of her day in a
special class with a few other advanced students. As the end of
fifth grade rolls around, she should be on top of the world.
According to everyone, she's going to rock junior high! But Ash has
a secret: She can't keep up with her advanced classmates anymore.
The minute she asks for help though, everyone will know she's not
who they think she is. She's not so smart. She might not even be
that special. And her parents will be crushed to discover the
truth. If Ash can win the Quiz Bowl, though, that will show
everyone that she is still on top. If she gets a lucky break ahead
of time, all the better. Except that "lucky break" backfires . . .
And Ash is left to question everything she thought she knew about
school, friends, and success.
