About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked by peers or struggles with the fear of being forgotten. It is a perfect choice for the middle-schooler who feels like they are moving through the world invisible to others, or for the child who is searching for a place where their unique quirks are finally valued. Through the lens of a high-stakes pirate adventure, it explores the deep-seated emotional need for belonging and the power of being truly seen by a friend. The story follows Fin, a boy whose magical curse makes people forget him the moment he leaves their sight, and Marrill, a girl from our world thrust into a realm of magic and mechanical ships. Together, they navigate the Pirate Stream on a quest for a map that can grant their deepest wishes. While the plot is fast-paced and imaginative, the heart of the book lies in the blossoming friendship between two lonely kids. It is developmentally appropriate for ages 8 to 12, offering a safe but thrilling space to discuss themes of identity, loyalty, and the courage it takes to define your own path.
