Reach for this book when your child feels caught in the middle of competing family loyalties or is struggling to find their own voice within a loud social group. While the setting is a futuristic city where dragons function like high-tech vehicles, the heart of the story is about Abel, a young boy navigating a family divided by different paths: a brother in the secret police and a sister in a street gang. It is an ideal pick for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy high-stakes action but also need to process themes of peer pressure, integrity, and the courage it takes to do what is right even when it is unpopular. It offers a safe, metaphorical space to discuss complex family dynamics and the importance of empathy for those who are different or mistreated.
