Out of the Box

Reach for this book when your child feels like their interests are 'too weird' for their peers or when they are struggling to find people who truly see them. It is an ideal choice for the student who asks the questions no one else is asking and needs to know that their curiosity is a superpower, not a social liability. Out of the Box follows the journey of young Fox Mulder, a boy captivated by the unexplained and the paranormal. While his peers and teachers often dismiss his theories as eccentric or impossible, the story highlights the profound importance of staying true to one's convictions. Through his partnership with the skeptical but grounded Dana, the narrative explores how different perspectives can strengthen a friendship. It is a validating read for middle-grade children navigating the tension between social conformity and personal passion.
