Reach for this book when your child feels like their intense interests make them an outsider or when they are struggling to find a peer who shares their specific passions. Amanda Frankenstein is a young girl whose entire world revolves around bugs, much to the confusion of her family and classmates who find her obsession a bit odd. It is a charming story about staying true to yourself even when you feel misunderstood by the people closest to you. This book is a wonderful tool for validating a child's unique identity and the loneliness that sometimes comes with being a 'specialist.' It beautifully captures the moment of pure joy when a child finally finds a kindred spirit. Appropriate for ages 4 to 8, it uses humor and relatability to show that there is a place and a friend for everyone, no matter how niche their interests might be.
