Reach for this book when your child feels like a square peg in the round hole of the traditional school system. If they have ever struggled with standardized testing, felt 'slow' because they process information differently, or found more sanctuary in a video game than a classroom, this story will act as a mirror and a balm. It follows four middle schoolers in summer school who discover that their divergent thinking is actually a superpower. Written in a mix of verse, prose, and art, the book explores themes of neurodiversity, self-acceptance, and the power of finding your tribe. It is highly accessible for reluctant readers due to its visual variety and gaming focus. Parents will appreciate how it validates the frustration of the 'learning disability' label while celebrating the creative brilliance that often accompanies it. It is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply empathetic look at what it means to be smart in your own way.
