Reach for this book when your child feels targeted or isolated because of a physical difference, especially if they are struggling with the cruelty of peer judgment. This historical novel follows Gwendoline, a girl with albinism living in 17th century England during the Great Plague. Because of her white hair and pale skin, she is branded a witch by a superstitious and fearful community. It is a powerful exploration of finding internal validation when the world offers only labels. While the setting is historical, the emotional core of managing bullying and self-acceptance is deeply relevant for the 8 to 12 age range. Parents will appreciate the way it models resilience and bravery in the face of systemic misunderstanding and fear.
