Reach for this book when your middle-schooler is paralyzed by 'what-ifs' or struggles with everyday anxieties that seem small to others but feel monumental to them. It is a perfect choice for the child who feels like the only one who is afraid of everything from bugs to being judged by peers. Through Suki's eyes, readers explore the difference between perceived fears and the tangible, difficult challenges others face. Suki's summer journey is about more than just overcoming phobias: it is about the power of perspective. By meeting individuals with significant physical disabilities and life obstacles, Suki begins to see her own anxiety through a new lens. It is a gentle, realistic, and secular story that avoids preaching, instead focusing on the organic growth of self-confidence and empathy in a young teen. It is ideal for ages 10 to 14, providing a roadmap for moving from self-absorption to social awareness.
