About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is reaching that awkward age where they start to feel deeply embarrassed by their parents in public. While it is wrapped in a high-stakes spy mission, the heart of the story addresses the universal struggle of maintaining a cool identity while dealing with well-meaning but hovering adults. It is a perfect bridge for elementary readers who are transitioning from early readers to longer chapter books. Kim Possible is on a school ski trip where her parents are acting as chaperons, causing her no end of mortification. When a mad scientist named DNAmy begins creating giant, living stuffed animals, Kim uses the mission as an escape from her social anxiety. The book balances humor and action while validating that it is okay to love your family even when they make you want to disappear. It is a light, fast-paced read that models competence and problem-solving.
