Excerpt:
\\u201cWhat about dinosaurs?\\u201d I said after a few minutes. \\u201cWe could do our project on how and why they went extinct. That\\u2019s exciting.\\u201d

K.D. shook her head. \\u201cIt might seem too basic. Like something we would have done in the fifth grade.\\u201d She loved dinosaurs. She probably didn\\u2019t want someone making fun of our project if it was about the thing she loved most. \\u201cBut maybe you\\u2019re on the right track. Animals, but rare ones. What about cryptids?\\u201d
