Reach for this book when your child feels like their quirks are weaknesses rather than strengths, or when they are struggling to navigate the social hierarchy of middle school. It provides a high-energy, humorous outlet for children who feel like outsiders, reframing common insecurities as the very things that make them extraordinary. The story follows Matilda 'Wheezer' Choi and her fellow secret agents as they attempt to stop a former teammate turned villainous cheerleader from destroying the world. While the plot is full of sci-fi gadgets and inter-dimensional travel, the heart of the book lies in its exploration of self-confidence and the importance of finding a community that values you for exactly who you are. It is an ideal pick for kids who enjoy fast-paced action but need a gentle reminder that being a 'nerd' is something to be proud of.
