Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or is paralyzed by the prospect of meeting new people. This high energy adventure follows a gang of cryptids who travel back in time to find a companion for a lonely Loch Ness Monster. While the plot involves dinosaurs and time travel, the heartbeat of the story is about navigating social anxiety and the fear of the unknown. It is a perfect choice for 7 to 10 year olds who respond well to humor and fast paced action. Parents will appreciate how it validates the feeling of being shy or 'different' while showing that having a supportive group of friends can make scary transitions much easier. The story normalizes the fact that even big, scary monsters can feel small and nervous inside.
