Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in with their peers or needs a reminder that their unique identity is a superpower. This junior novelization follows Walter, a puppet who has always felt out of place in the human world, as he travels to Los Angeles to save the Muppet Studios from a greedy oil tycoon. Along the way, he must help reunite the original Muppets and discover his own hidden talent. While the story is filled with the trademark Muppet humor and zany adventure, it deals deeply with themes of belonging, the bittersweet nature of time passing, and the importance of teamwork. It is a lighthearted yet emotionally resonant read for children aged 8 to 12 who are navigating the complexities of finding their 'tribe' and building self-confidence. It provides a comforting bridge for kids who may feel different from those around them.
