A Rival for the Rainy-Day Club
When Portland rain traps recess indoors for the third week in a row, eleven-year-old Tessa turns cardboard, weather games, and big ideas into the Rainy-Day Club. Then Arun posts a rival club schedule for the covered play court, and his quiet puzzles, numbered cards, and suspiciously sensible rules begin attracting the children Tessa expected to follow her. Soon the school has a crowded court, two competing clubs, and a recess coordinator counting every spill, argument, and near-accident. Tessa wants to prove her club is the best, but the louder the rivalry gets, the more clearly it shows who has been left out. When both clubs are put on hold, Tessa and Arun must test what children actually need: room to build, room to think, a place to reset, and a way to belong without picking a side. Funny, warm, and grounded in the real complications of friendship, A Rival for the Rainy-Day Club is a middle-grade story about rivalry, repair, and building a better place together.

The Dry-Space Problem
By the third rainy Monday, Tessa had learned that a school could run out of dry space.
Not dry paper. Not dry socks, although Room 12 had plenty of those stuffed behind the lost-and-found basket. Dry space meant a place where thirty-seven children could eat crackers, build things, whisper, shout, trade cards, and not accidentally launch a chair into a bookshelf.
