Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice the beautiful, messy complexities of adult life, or when a beloved grandparent is facing health challenges. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel responsible for keeping their family happy amidst the chaos of growing up and changing dynamics. Ferris is a soulful, funny story about a summer of sheer pandemonium involving an outlaw little sister, an uncle painting the history of the world in the basement, and a grandmother who sees a ghost. Beneath the humor, Kate DiCamillo explores deep themes of love, legacy, and the inevitability of change. It is an emotionally safe space for children ages 8 to 12 to process the idea that even though life can be unpredictable and people can be difficult, love remains the steady anchor at the center of every family story.
