What if the very thing that makes you different is also what makes you extraordinary? Thirteen-year-old Ted Hambleberger has always felt like he doesn't quite fit in. Bullied at school, misunderstood by his family, and overwhelmed by emotions he can't seem to control, Ted wishes he could be anyone but himself. Then a mysterious, ragged teddy bear enters his life. Suddenly, Ted's dreams become extraordinary adventures, where a mysterious caped guardian challenges him to confront his fears and prepare for a terrifying enemy known only as the Nightmare. But as the line between dreams and reality begins to blur, Ted discovers that defeating the Nightmare will require more than courage. He must uncover the truth about who he is and learn that the qualities he's spent his life wishing away may be his greatest strengths. A heartfelt middle-grade fantasy about bullying, courage, family, friendship, and the extraordinary strength of highly sensitive children. Because sometimes, the greatest discovery isn't what we're capable of becoming, but who we've been all along.
