About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of social intuition and needs help understanding that a person's outside appearance or title does not always reflect their internal intentions. This Transformers adventure serves as an accessible metaphor for 'social red flags' and the importance of trusting your gut when a friend or peer starts acting out of character. The story follows the Autobots as they welcome who they think is their old friend, Wheeljack. However, his strange behavior soon raises suspicions, leading to the discovery that a Decepticon impostor has infiltrated their group. It is an ideal pick for early readers who are drawn to action and machinery but could benefit from a gentle lesson on discernment, loyalty, and the value of true friendship. Through the lens of sci-fi heroes, kids learn that being part of a team means looking out for one another and speaking up when something feels off.
