About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit the mold or is struggling with a new environment where they feel like an outsider. Misfits speaks directly to the 'square peg' child who questions authority and values authenticity over performance. While it is set in a magical academy for princes and princesses, the emotional core is about the anxiety of being forced into a role that feels wrong and the empowerment found in choosing your own community. Appropriate for ages 8 to 12, this story balances a fun mystery with deeper themes of justice and self-confidence. It is an excellent choice for a child who resists stereotypical gender roles or traditional social hierarchies. Through Devin's journey, readers learn that what makes them 'different' is often their greatest strength, providing a comforting mirror for children navigating their own social or academic pressures.
