Leeva at Last

Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked or is beginning to notice that their family dynamic differs from the 'norm' of their peers. Leeva Spayce-Otty lives with parents who are obsessed with fame and wealth, completely ignoring her existence. To find out what people are for, Leeva ventures into her community, discovering the transformative power of the town library and the kindness of strangers. This is an absurdist, Roald Dahl-esque tale that handles themes of emotional neglect with a light, humorous touch. It is perfect for children aged 8 to 12 who appreciate quirky wit and stories about finding where you truly belong. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's agency and the idea that family can be chosen.
