Franklin Endicott and the Third Key by Kate DiCamillo

Rating: Needs Parent Supervision

A boy struggles with his excessive fears. I found the solution of turning fears into wonders somewhat superficial. I don’t recommend for kids who struggle with fears as it might give them more ideas!

Before reading this, it seemed it would be best to be familiar with the Mercy Watson series. I haven’t gone deep into that series, though I enjoyed reading about Leroy Ninker, who is a different spin-off character.
