Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in with their peers or is struggling with the frustration of being misunderstood. While it features the high action of the Teen Titans, the heart of the story is Cyborg's internal battle with his identity as part-human and part-machine. He begins to wonder if he is more 'tool' than 'team member,' a feeling many children experience when they feel their value is based only on what they can do rather than who they are. This early chapter book uses the superhero genre to explore complex themes of belonging and self-worth in an accessible, fast-paced format. It is particularly effective for reluctant readers who are dealing with social friction or sibling-like rivalry. Parents will find it a useful tool for discussing how to handle arguments and the importance of seeing the person behind the skill set.
