About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit the mold or is struggling with the pressure of high expectations. It is a deeply empathetic look at Angeline, an eight year old genius in sixth grade who feels disconnected from her peers and even her well meaning father. The story captures the heavy emotional weight of being gifted, the sting of teacher misunderstandings, and the quiet loneliness of being different. While it deals with themes of bullying and frustration, it also highlights the power of finding just one person who truly sees you. It is a perfect choice for kids aged 8 to 12 who feel like outsiders or who are navigating complex relationships with authority figures.
