Reach for this book when your child feels limited by their circumstances or is struggling to find a sense of belonging in traditional spaces. It is a powerful choice for children who use mobility aids or those who simply need to see that physical differences do not define a person's potential for adventure and bravery.

This graphic novel is perfect for ages 8 to 12, offering a fast-paced narrative that normalizes disability while celebrating the grit, resilience, and community found in extreme sports. Parents will appreciate how it reframes a wheelchair from a symbol of limitation into a tool for incredible stunts and personal empowerment.
