The Lost Continent

Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the status quo or feels like their personal values are clashing with what they are being told by authority figures. It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who is navigating the shift from childhood innocence to the complex realization that some societal systems are built on secrets or unfairness. The story follows Blue, a dragon from a tribe called the SilkWings, who discovers that the history of his continent is a lie and that the ruling HiveWings are not the benevolent protectors they claim to be. Through Blue's journey, the book explores themes of justice, the courage to be different, and the weight of standing up for what is right even when it feels dangerous. Parents will appreciate how it uses a high-stakes fantasy setting to model critical thinking and integrity, providing a safe space to discuss peer pressure and the importance of personal autonomy.
