The Final Exam

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels like their unique talents don't quite fit in or are underappreciated. This humorous story is about Maddie, the daughter of world-famous spies, who is sent to a secret boarding school. Instead of traditional classes, she and her friends, who all possess bizarre skills, must compete in a dangerous and zany 'Final Exam.' The book celebrates self-confidence, friendship, and the idea that seemingly useless abilities can be superpowers in the right situation. For ages 8 to 12, it's a funny, fast-paced adventure that reassures kids that being different is a strength.
