Cho's Bestie and Aliens earned Hidden Gem Sticker!

Описание: I entered the ONC in April 2025 and made it onto the Round 1 Qualifier List. And didn't make it onto the Round 2 Qualifier List. But, I did enter into the Guess The ONC Book Challenge. So glad I did!

I'm not on any of them yet. But, I'm so excited! I got an ONC 2025 Hidden Gem sticker and got asked to fill an interview form! I have the sticker on Cho's Bestie and Aliens, and I'm announcing this on all my social medias! So excited! Thank you @TeenFix !

Here's the letter they sent me:
Hello, Dannis!
We at Teen Fix want to thank you for participating in our Guess the ONC Book challenge. “Cho’s Bestie and Aliens” was a truly fun experience and it deserved the Hidden Gem feature.
For completing your novella for ONC, we are offering to feature an interview about your novella in our interview book, Voices Unveiled.
So, that's my news! I was sooo depressed about not making it into the 2nd round, but this is proof that it ain't over 'til it's over, right? Hoping to encourage all y'all who also didn't make it to a list. NEVER. GIVE. UP. Believe in your story, even when no one else does!

Cho's Bestie and Aliens now has the Hidden Gem sticker!
Ava was rude, then ended their friendship the night before the aliens came.

Chloe Diaz and Ava Greenfield have been best friends since they were 4 and in preschool. Suddenly, she doesn't want to be friends, and now aliens want to enter a treaty with Earth, something Ava would love to talk about! What happened?
