About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to make sense of a parent's medical crisis or feels caught between their own creative nature and the world's logical demands. This surreal adventure follows fourteen year old Bernard, a creative misfit who accidentally travels inside his own father's brain while his father lies in a coma. To save him, Bernard must navigate a civil war between the logical Left Brain and the artistic Right Brain. It is a powerful metaphor for the balance required in all our lives. The story deals directly with the fear of loss but frames it within a high stakes science fiction quest. It is best suited for middle schoolers who enjoy internal world building and are ready to discuss how our emotions and intellect interact during times of stress. Parents will find it a unique tool for opening conversations about family illness through the lens of imagination and resilience.
