Reach for this book when your child feels misunderstood by peers or is struggling with the transition to a new school environment. It is an ideal choice for families navigating the nuances of cultural identity or those supporting a child with learning differences who feels 'othered' by the traditional classroom structure. The story follows Ravi, a brilliant Indian immigrant, and Joe, a local boy with Auditory Processing Disorder, as they navigate the first week of fifth grade. Through their eyes, we explore how assumptions and bullying can isolate us, but also how a shared struggle can forge a deep, unexpected bond. It is a realistic and hopeful look at finding one's footing that is perfectly calibrated for the emotional complexity of the upper elementary years.
