The Tower at the End of Time

Reach for this book when your child is feeling like an outsider or struggling to find their place within a group. It is a perfect choice for children who feel 'too much' or 'not enough,' offering a whimsical reminder that quirks are often secret strengths. The story follows Nine, an orphan and thief, as she navigates a sentient, chaotic house that travels through dimensions. As the house begins to fall apart, Nine and her eccentric roommates must race against time to save their home and their newfound family. At its heart, this is a story about belonging and the definition of home. It explores themes of loyalty, resilience, and the idea that family is something we choose rather than just something we are born into. The tone is delightfully absurd and humorous, making complex emotional concepts like loneliness and abandonment feel accessible rather than heavy. It is an ideal bridge for 8 to 12 year olds who enjoy high stakes adventure but still need the comfort of a happy, supportive ending.
