Reach for this book when your child feels like they are constantly living in someone else's shadow or struggling to find their own unique voice amidst high expectations. It is a brilliant choice for teenagers who feel like 'misfits' or who are navigating the transition from following rules to making their own principled decisions. The story follows Roddy and Nick, two magical teens from different worlds who uncover a deep-seated conspiracy that the adults in power are ignoring. While it is a high-stakes fantasy filled with multiversal travel and intricate magic, at its heart it is an exploration of self-perception and the courage it takes to trust your own instincts when the world tells you you are wrong. It is best suited for readers aged 10 to 15 who enjoy complex, rewarding narratives that respect their intelligence. You might choose this to help a child process feelings of loneliness or to celebrate the power of finding a true friend who finally 'gets' you.
