A parent should reach for this book when their child is facing a crossroad, particularly when they feel the weight of adult expectations or the pressure to fit into a mold that does not feel right. The story follows Joe, a boy caught between two very different worlds: the simple life he knows with his grandmother and the prestigious, high-society future offered by an eccentric millionaire. It is a quiet, contemplative exploration of autonomy and the courage required to choose one's own happiness over status or wealth. Written with Natalie Babbitt's signature grace and philosophical depth, it is ideal for 8 to 12 year olds who are starting to define their own identities. This book helps normalize the anxiety of decision-making and reinforces that a person's worth is not defined by their social standing or the expectations of others.
