About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is masking a struggle at school or feels like a fraud because they learn differently than their peers. While it is wrapped in a whimsical mystery about a magical bookshop, it is at its heart a story about the heavy burden of keeping a secret and the fear of being 'found out.' Through Property Jones, a girl who lives in a bookstore but cannot read, children see that their worth is not defined by a single skill and that everyone has hidden challenges. It is a gentle, humorous, and deeply validating choice for elementary readers who need to know that being different doesn't mean being 'broken.'
