The One?!

Reach for this book when your child feels stuck in a 'bad' reputation or struggles with the idea that they can never be the hero because of past mistakes. This high energy graphic novel speaks directly to the underdog who wants to do good but often feels misunderstood or overlooked by the world. It provides a hilarious yet meaningful entry point for discussing identity and the power of choosing who you want to be regardless of what others expect of you. Fans of the Bad Guys series will recognize Aaron Blabey's signature irreverent humor as the story follows a group of traditional 'villains' attempting to save the world. It is a fantastic choice for reluctant readers aged 7 to 10, blending fast paced action with core themes of redemption, loyalty, and the bravery required to stand up for what is right. Parents will appreciate how it uses a sci-fi superhero lens to model that even the unlikeliest characters can find their inner light and work together as a team.
