Reach for this book when your child is feeling displaced by a new baby or is struggling with the 'unfairness' of sibling dynamics. Thaddeus, a self proclaimed boy genius, is convinced his new sister is an alien intruder. While the premise is fantastical, the emotional core is deeply relatable to any child who feels like their parents have been 'brainwashed' by a boring, attention-grabbing infant. Gene Luen Yang uses a high energy graphic novel format to explore jealousy and resentment through a lens of science fiction and math. It is a perfect choice for kids who use logic and humor as a defense mechanism. By turning a common family milestone into a hilarious conspiracy theory, it provides a safe space for children to laugh at their own frustrations while eventually nudging them toward acceptance of their changing family structure.
