*** Winner *** 2012 Readers Favorite Five Star Review. A contemporary YA fiction, The Jelly Bean Crisis is a coming of age story set to change the way readers live their lives - and eat their jelly beans! Overview of The Jelly Bean Crisis A total meltdown. The whole school watching. Now Poppy's an ex-straight-A with no Plan B. When Poppy Johnson throws away a full scholarship to Columbia, she can only blame the jelly beans. The yucky green ones? Midnight cram sessions and Saturday's spent studying. The delicious red? The family Columbia, and a future in finance. Except now it's starting to look like Poppy's jelly bean theory is wrong. School has been her life until, but maybe it's time to start living now. Poppy has thirty days to try a new life. No school, no studying. Just jumping into every possible world. Thirty days to find her passion, her path, and maybe even love. The Jelly Bean Crisis is officially on.
