Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of expectations or feels like they have to choose between their personal creative passions and their duty to help others. This graphic novel follows Miles Morales as he balances the demands of school and art with the massive responsibility of being Spider-Man. When a fundraiser for earthquake relief in Puerto Rico leads to a corporate mystery, Miles must learn that being a hero isn't just about powers, it is about community and integrity. While the superhero action provides high stakes, the heart of the story lies in Miles's relationship with his family and his identity as a Puerto Rican and Black teenager. It is a perfect choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy fast-paced mysteries but are also starting to think about how they fit into the wider world and how they can use their unique talents to stand up for what is right.
