A parent might reach for this book when their teen seems overly focused on their own ambitions, perhaps becoming self-centered or judgmental of others. Kristin and Boone tells the story of a talented but selfish young actress whose world is turned upside down when she's cast in a play directed by Boone, a brilliant professional who is also a dwarf. The book follows Kristin’s journey from arrogance to empathy as she confronts her own prejudices and discovers the value of genuine friendship. It's an excellent choice for teens ages 12-16, particularly those in competitive activities, as it models how to look beyond first impressions and build meaningful, respectful relationships.
