1st Rule of The Secret Winners Club: Do whatever it takes.
Thirteen-year-old Sunny Whitlock has alopecia, an autoimmune condition thats made her lose her hair-and shes desperate to be seen as more than just the bald kid. But how? By setting an epic goal: win her schools junkbot club competition. And if shes #1, then other kids will have to see beyond her disease and shell finally fit in.
Sunnys immune-deficient best friends are also tired of looking different and achieving second place in their school competitions. With a bold plan, Sunny bands with them to create The Secret Winners Club, a club devised to win-at any cost-and push them outside their comfort zones.
They promise to trust no one else. Its all classified! And in total secrecy they aim to help one another become #1 before this middle school year is over. But as they start to succeed, they quickly discover that crossing the line and hurting others can make them even more visible and even more an outsider.
The Secret Winners Club speaks directly to:
Kids living with chronic illness like autoimmune and skin conditions
Young readers navigating identity, visibility, and self-acceptance
Fans of friendship-driven, coming-of-age stories with STEAM elements
Those who love theater, swimming, technology, and school competitions
