Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the pressure of a label, whether they are known as the smart kid, the athlete, or the misfit. It is a perfect choice for the middle schooler who feels like they do not quite fit the mold others have built for them. The story follows Noah, a hyper-intelligent boy who transitions from a school for the gifted to a standard middle school, only to realize that social survival requires a different kind of genius than he is used to. Through humor and high-stakes social blunders, the book explores the nuances of loyalty and the courage it takes to define yourself on your own terms. It is highly appropriate for ages 8 to 12, offering a lighthearted but meaningful look at the complexities of friendship and the reality of bullying. Parents will appreciate how it validates the awkwardness of the middle school transition while celebrating the diverse strengths of every student.
