About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the complexities of family identity, particularly if they are navigating a blended family or questioning where they truly belong. While it is framed as a high-octane space adventure, the heart of the story explores the vital difference between biological heritage and the 'found family' that actually shows up for you. Peter Quill's search for his father leads him to a powerful being named Ego, but he soon discovers that shared DNA does not equal love. This graphic novel helps middle grade readers process feelings of abandonment and the importance of loyalty to those who care for them every day. It is an ideal pick for children who feel like 'misfits' and need to see that being different is a superpower when you have the right team by your side.
