Reach for this book when your child feels like their brain works a little differently than their peers, making social interactions feel like a puzzle they cannot quite solve. This high energy graphic novel follows Travis, a tech genius who struggles with the nuances of friendship but finds himself thrust into a multiversal quest involving ancient magic and sentient robots. It is a story about finding one's place when you do not fit the typical mold. While the plot is filled with sci-fi adventure and humor, the heart of the book is Travis's journey toward self-acceptance and his attempts to connect with his new friend Juniper. Parents will appreciate how it validates the experience of being neurodivergent or socially anxious without being clinical. It is perfect for ages 8 to 12, offering a blend of fast-paced action and meaningful emotional growth that celebrates the idea that being a 'misfit' is actually a superpower.
