Reach for Incredibly Penelope when your child is facing a significant life shift, whether it is moving to a new school, feeling the sting of social exclusion, or navigating a change in family finances.

It is a poignant story about resilience and the discovery that a person's true value lies in their character rather than their bank account. Through Penelope's journey at Idlewild Academy, parents will find a gentle opening to discuss empathy, the fickle nature of popularity, and how to stay true to oneself during hard times. The book is ideally suited for ages 8 to 12, offering a relatable look at middle-grade social dynamics and the power of unexpected friendships.
