About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider because of a talent or sensitivity they cannot yet control. It is a perfect fit for the 'square peg' child who is beginning to realize that the things making them different are actually their greatest strengths. Set in fourteenth-century Scotland, the story follows Tormod, a boy burdened by prophetic visions, as he leaves his isolated life to assist a Templar knight on a high-stakes quest for a holy relic. While the backdrop is historical and rich with Templar lore, the heart of the story is Tormod's internal journey toward self-acceptance. It balances the excitement of a medieval chase with thoughtful reflections on faith, loyalty, and the weight of responsibility. Parents will appreciate the way it models mentorship and the transition from childhood fear to adolescent bravery within a clean, classic adventure framework.
