About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are constantly standing in the shadow of others or struggles to believe in their own unique capabilities. While part of a larger series, this specific installment elevates Gina, the dependable friend, into the role of the central hero. As the world's timeline fractures and magical chaos ensues, Gina must confront her own secrets and find the confidence to lead when even the super-powered Hilo is overwhelmed. It is a fantastic choice for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy high-energy humor but need a story that validates their personal growth and responsibility. You might choose this to help a child see that being 'the smart one' or 'the organized one' is just as heroic as having superpowers. The story balances frantic, slapstick action with a grounded message about trusting your instincts and the power of true friendship.
