This fast-paced, funny, and highly illustrated novel is perfect for kids aged 8 to 12, especially reluctant readers who enjoy humor and sci-fi. It's a story that champions self-confidence and teamwork while delivering non-stop laughs and adventure.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central threat is the protagonist being "un-invented" or erased from history. This is a metaphorical take on death or loss of identity, but it is handled in a very light, secular, and sci-fi manner. The focus is on the adventure and humor of the situation, not the existential dread. The resolution is entirely hopeful and empowering.
