Reach for this book when your child is navigating the messy transition of growing up, feeling like they do not quite fit in, or struggling with the pressure of new responsibilities. It is an ideal pick for a child who feels 'ordinary' but has a hidden spark waiting to be ignited, or for those dealing with changing family dynamics where roles are not what they seem. Aurora Beam is a relatable 10-year-old whose life is upended when she discovers she has inherited superhero powers. Beyond the high-voltage action, the story explores deep themes of female empowerment, sibling loyalty, and the moral complexity of choosing between good and 'cool' (or even villainous) paths. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful read that validates the 'in-between' feelings of the middle-grade years while celebrating the strength found in family and self-belief.
