Reach for this book when your child seems to live in their own head, perhaps feeling a bit disconnected from the dry demands of the classroom or struggling with the pressure to be 'average.' Jazmin is a relatably messy protagonist who balances a mundane school life with a vibrant, high-stakes dream world where she is a top-tier secret agent. It is a perfect choice for kids who use creativity as a coping mechanism for everyday boredom or academic stress. The story gently explores themes of self-confidence and the gap between who we are and who we wish to be. It is a humorous, lighthearted read for the middle-grade years that validates the power of a wild imagination without being overly heavy-handed.
