About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager feels like their neurodivergence is a social hurdle rather than a strength. It is an empowering choice for children who struggle with sensory processing or social cues and need to see their unique brain chemistry modeled as a legitimate superpower. Set in the stylish but dangerous world of 1960s London, the story follows Kitty Granger, an autistic teen who is recruited by the British government as a secret agent. While Kitty deals with intense anxiety and sensory overload, her hyper-focus and observational skills make her the perfect spy to stop a fascist conspiracy. Parents will appreciate the way the book handles mental health with nuance, showing that bravery is not the absence of fear or discomfort, but the ability to act while moving through it. It is a thrilling, sophisticated historical mystery that celebrates the value of thinking differently.
