Thunderboom
Book description
An action-packed superhero story about the power of imagination.

Why read it?
1 author picked Thunderboom as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a huge fan of graphic novels, and this one felt not only like a visual experience but also an auditory one. The sound effect bubbles used to describe Logan’s perspective and the illustrations depicting his inner world were evocative.
I loved getting to step inside his head and see the world from his perspective, rather than filtered through how someone else viewed him as a nonverbal, neurodivergent kid.
From Calyssa's list on children’s books with neurodivergent protagonists.
