Local 12-year-old celebrates release of her new book

JACKSON, Tenn. — One local kid celebrates the release of her new book.

Kezia Newhouse has been writing since she was 9-years-old. Thursday, her new book “Wishes really do come true: The Cat and the Dog” was released on Amazon. Her mom says Kezia would always go to her room to write stories.

This interactive book follows “Zia” who makes a wish for new pets. Her pets are a dog named Clyde, a cat named Lulu and a fish named Bubbles.

Newhouse hopes that this book will inspire children to learn and read.

“One of the characters is named Zia, well that’s my nickname. She wished for a dog and a cat and she got what she wished for. It’s basically telling kids that good wishes really do come true,” said Newhouse.

This book also has activities that children who are learning to read and write can enjoy. Newhouse hopes people will buy her book and she thanks her publisher. To purchase a copy of the book, click here.
