HAMPTON ROADS, VA—Bella Olson began writing her debut novel, Trapped, when she was just seven years old, turning her imagination into an action-packed story about a young inventor who uses creativity and problem-solving to escape a mad scientist’s traps. Now at age 11, Bella’s journey is a reminder of how powerful it can be when a child’s curiosity and creativity are encouraged early. Now the bilingual Brazilian-American author is inspiring kids, and the adults who support them, to see that big ideas can start young.
