Minnesota Teen's Novel May Have Predicted a Sign of the Times
In My Adventure, a young girl is locked up in her house due to her parents' fear of germs. Did her characters unknowingly predict COVID-19?

At this time when schools are closed and we're all locked up in our homes, a good book may be just the thing your teen needs to keep him or her busy. A good title to pick up would be My Adventure by teen author Tiffany Lonetto of Barnum, Minn.
My Adventure is a story that really reflects what has become a sign of the times. In it, the protagonist's parents are germaphobes. So much so that she has spent her entire life locked up in her house, never able to feel the grass under her feet or interact with people outside her family. But one day she gets up the nerve to open her window, and that’s when the adventure begins.
My Adventure was published earlier this year by Sigma's Bookshelf, what is believed to be the first and only traditional book publishing company that exclusively publishes the work of teen authors.
