Puppy School

Reach for this book when your teenager feels like the world is an unpredictable puzzle or when you want to bridge the gap of understanding regarding neurodivergence. This story follows Christopher, a fifteen-year-old math genius who views the world through a lens of logic and absolute truth. While the plot begins with a mystery about a neighbor's dog, it quickly evolves into a profound exploration of family secrets, the courage required to navigate a loud and sensory-overloaded world, and the messy reality of adult relationships. It is a powerful tool for building empathy in neurotypical children and providing a mirror for those who find social cues confusing. Parents should note that while the themes are sophisticated, the direct and honest narrative voice makes it accessible and deeply moving for the 12 to 18 age range.
