About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like the 'villain' of their own story, or when they are struggling with intense feelings of jealousy toward a peer who seems to get all the credit. Kyle Camden is a brilliant twelve year old who is tired of being the town outcast while the perfect Mighty Mike gets all the praise. To prove his rival is a fraud, Kyle builds a time machine, only to discover that his assumptions about good and evil are far more complicated than he thought. This graphic novel is a fantastic tool for discussing the difference between being 'right' and being 'kind.' It is perfectly suited for middle grade readers who enjoy fast paced superhero action but are ready to grapple with deeper questions about ego, self perception, and the consequences of our choices. It normalizes the feeling of being misunderstood while gently nudging the reader toward self reflection.
