Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the sting of comparison or struggling to balance social expectations with their true identity. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like an outsider and needs to see that being 'weird' is often a superpower rather than a flaw. The story follows three sisters from a family of witches who find their loyalties tested when two very different boys arrive at school: one a classic heartthrob and the other a gentle, misunderstood giant. While the setting is supernatural, the emotional core deals with the very real pressures of high school popularity and the courage it takes to look beneath the surface of others. Parents will appreciate the way it satirizes teen tropes while promoting empathy and self-acceptance. It is most appropriate for ages 12 and up due to some dark humor and mild horror elements, serving as a fun yet meaningful exploration of what it truly means to be human.
