Gut Reaction (2024)
Kirby Larson and Quinn Wyatt
"Kirby Larson and Quinn Wyatt have cooked up a rich, warm story about Crohn's Disease, courage, and cookies. The voice is heartfelt and authentic, leavened with humor and, oh my frog, delicious desserts. Gut Reaction is a wonderful book about important things, and I recommend it highly."

Rebecca Barnhouse
"A funny and wise book about friendship, loyalty, and love."
