Finding Your Stars

Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked or powerless in their daily life and needs to see how internal focus can manifest external change. Molly Moon is an unloved orphan who discovers a hidden talent for hypnotism, which she uses to escape her dreary life and seek out a long-lost friend. While the plot is full of whimsy and magic, the core of the story addresses the deep-seated need for belonging and the journey toward self-worth. It is a fantastic choice for the 8 to 12 age group, offering a blend of humor and adventure while validating the complex feelings of children who feel like outsiders. Parents will appreciate the way it encourages children to find their own 'inner stars' and recognize their unique capabilities.
