Glitch Boy and the Theme Park of Doom

Leo isn't a normal kid. He's a glitch. Most kids get nervous under pressure. When Leo gets nervous, his video-game superpowers misfire - turning him into a turtle, a toaster, or a giant bouncing marshmallow. So when a twenty-foot robot dinosaur goes haywire at the world's wildest theme park, the timing couldn't be worse. The crowd is screaming. His hilariously distracted dad hasn't looked up from his phone. And Leo's powers are crashing exactly when he needs them most. To save the day, Leo must remember the one rule his dad swears by: You can't fix a system while it's crashing. You have to hit pause first. A laugh-out-loud adventure about overwhelming moments, glitchy superpowers, and learning to debug your own fear - one deep breath at a time. For ages 7-11. Perfect for kids who love video games, action, and humor - and especially for children who experience anxiety, nervousness, worry, or sensory overwhelm. The "pause and breathe" mechanic is woven naturally into the adventure, making it a powerful read for anxious kids without feeling like a therapy book. A wonderful gift for children with anxiety, kids who overthink or shut down under pressure, and any child who has ever felt like things are just too much. For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Wreck-It Ralph, and Big Hero 6.
