A Sky Full of Stars

Reach for this book when your child feels like their brain works differently than everyone else's or when they are struggling to see their own worth in a traditional school setting. While it is a high octane adventure, its heartbeat is the validation of children with ADHD and dyslexia. It transforms these common challenges into signs of greatness, reframing the 'outsider' narrative into one of hidden heroism and belonging. In this story, a young boy discovers that the difficulties he faces at school are actually because he is the son of a Greek god. Alongside a loyal group of friends, he embarks on a quest to prevent a war among the gods. Parents will appreciate the way it builds self-confidence and emphasizes that loyalty and bravery are just as important as academic success. It is a perfect fit for middle schoolers seeking a world where being different is a superpower.
