Reach for this book when your child is feeling powerless or needs to see that even when life feels overwhelming, they have the capability to handle a crisis. It is an excellent choice for kids who may be facing family health issues or who are transitioning into a stage of life where they must take on greater personal responsibility. The story follows twelve-year-old Molly as she visits her aunt's llama ranch, only to find herself in a high-stakes situation where adults are incapacitated and the animals are in danger. Through a mix of suspense and heart, the book explores how bravery is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it. It is perfectly pitched for middle-grade readers who enjoy fast-paced adventure but are also navigating the emotional complexities of growing up and protecting those they love.
