The Survival Guide of the Awkward Critters
The Survival Guide of the Awkward Critters is a beautifully illustrated universe where every character has a story to tell. Designed for readers ages 6 to 17, this series explores the real, often messy journey of growing up—from the ache of friendship challenges and self-doubt to the triumph of discovering courage, kindness, and self-worth.
Each book immerses you in a different perspective. You’ll walk in the shoes of characters like Finn the Firefly, Raven the Black Fox, and Shelly the Dachshund, seeing the world through their unique struggles and strengths. It’s a cohesive world that encourages readers to embrace their differences and build resilience, not because a lesson says so, but because they see their favorite characters doing it.
Perfect for elementary and middle school classrooms, school counseling programs, and family reading time, these stories serve as a bridge for honest conversations. Whether your students are shy, spirited, struggling, or just trying to find where they belong, there’s an Awkward Critter who’s been there too.
