About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate high-stakes environments like competitive sports where emotions often boil over. It is an ideal choice for the child who is observant of social dynamics and needs a safe way to discuss how one negative influence can rapidly change the mood of an entire group. The story uses a superhero lens to explore a baseball game that descends into chaos when a mysterious glowing apple causes everyone to turn on one another. Through the action-packed graphic novel format, children see a literal representation of how anger can be 'contagious.' Parents will appreciate how the book bridges the gap between pure entertainment and a meaningful jumping-off point for discussing self-control and the importance of maintaining a level head when others around you are losing theirs.
