Freeglader

Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant life transition, such as a move or a change in family structure, and needs to see that home is defined by the people we travel with rather than a physical building. Freeglader concludes the epic Edge Chronicles series by following a diverse group of refugees as they flee their destroyed city to seek a new life in the wilderness. It is an ideal pick for readers aged 10 to 14 who enjoy immersive world-building and high-stakes adventure. The story explores deep themes of community resilience, the courage required to start over, and the importance of teamwork when facing unknown threats. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core is grounded in the universal experience of leaving the familiar behind. Parents will appreciate the book's emphasis on finding hope in the face of loss and the way it models leadership through empathy and collaboration rather than just strength.
