Who Goes Home?

Reach for this book when your child starts expressing that they do not quite fit in or when they are struggling with a sense of displacement after a move or a major family change. While framed as a science fiction mystery, the story is a profound metaphor for the immigrant experience and the hidden identities we carry. It follows young Jacob Price, who discovers his family are actually extraterrestrials living incognito on Earth and must now decide where his true home lies. It is a gentle yet thought-provoking read for children aged 9 to 12 who are navigating the transition from childhood to adolescence. Parents will appreciate how it validates the confusing feelings of being caught between two worlds while emphasizing the importance of family bonds and self-acceptance.
