Something Strange About Greg

Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that their classmates have different ways of speaking or behaving and you want to encourage curiosity over judgment. This story follows the mystery of Greg, a student who uses strange, pirate-like nautical phrases that confuse and intrigue those around him. It is a lighthearted look at how children navigate social differences and the impulse to label others as weird before truly getting to know them. While the book is packed with humorous pirate idioms, it carries a meaningful emotional core focused on belonging and the bravery required to be yourself in a school setting. It is ideal for children ages 6 to 10 who are developing their social awareness. Parents will appreciate how the story uses a 'silly mystery' framework to teach empathy and vocabulary, turning a potential lesson on inclusion into a fun adventure of discovery.
