About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or struggles to see how their unique, sometimes 'weird' traits could be their greatest strengths. It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who feels misunderstood by their peers or who is beginning to navigate the complex transition from family-dependence to finding their own 'tribe.' The story follows five children of supernatural fugitives who must leave their isolated island home to survive in a world where their powers are considered criminal. While it is packed with high-stakes adventure and X-Men style abilities, the heart of the story explores identity, the legacy of our parents, and the necessity of teamwork. It is a fast-paced, age-appropriate fantasy that uses the 'superpower' metaphor to discuss real-world feelings of isolation and the bravery required to trust others.
