Reach for this book when your child feels like their academic struggles define them, or when they feel invisible in their own home. It is a powerful choice for middle schoolers who are grappling with the frustration of a learning difference or the heavy weight of family dysfunction. The story follows Solomon, a boy who feels like a failure at school due to his dyslexia and neglected at home by his alcoholic father. While the plot features a chilling supernatural mystery involving an ancient evil in a cemetery, the heart of the book is Solomon's journey toward self-worth. It validates the unique ways a neurodivergent mind can solve problems that others cannot. Parents should be aware that the book contains intense themes of parental neglect and some genuine scares, making it best for ages 10 to 14. It is a brilliant tool for opening conversations about hidden strengths and the importance of being seen.
