About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their preteen is struggling with the pressure to fit in or feeling like their unique personality is 'too much' for middle school. It is an ideal resource for children who are navigating the social hierarchies of school and need a reminder that their quirks and creative instincts are actually their greatest strengths. Based on the popular Disney Channel series, this guide explores Raven Baxter's world of fashion, friendship, and her secret psychic visions. While the supernatural elements add a layer of fun, the core of the book focuses on building self-confidence and loyalty. It provides a lighthearted way for 8 to 12 year olds to process common adolescent anxieties like school dances, sibling rivalry, and wardrobe malfunctions through a lens of humor and resilience.
