About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels caught between two worlds, whether those are different friend groups, cultural identities, or family structures. Pete Bogg is a twelve-year-old who is half-human and half-frog. Living in the swamp with his frog father, Pete feels like an outsider at school and decides to venture into the human world to see where he truly belongs. It is a lighthearted but meaningful exploration of the 'middle ground' identity. This graphic novel uses humor and animal fantasy to navigate the heavy feeling of not being 'enough' of one thing to fit in. It is perfectly paced for middle-grade readers who enjoy visual storytelling. Parents will appreciate how it validates the struggle of dual identity while maintaining a sense of adventure and curiosity. It offers a gentle way to discuss self-acceptance and the idea that we can create our own unique space in the world.
