A note for parents
Mighty Jack is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel that celebrates sibling responsibility, acceptance of autism, and the power of imagination. The story is whimsical and adventure-filled, with magical garden creatures and fantasy elements that feel more wonder-filled than threatening. While there are a few moments of mild peril and some scary imagery (including a dragon encounter), these are presented in a way that prioritizes adventure over genuine threat, making it well-suited for middle-grade readers.

Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one day at the flea... Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one day at the flea market, Maddy does talk—to tell Jack to trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. It's the best mistake Jack has ever made. In Mighty Jack, what starts as a normal little garden out back behind the house quickly grows up into a wild, magical jungle with tiny onion babies running amok, huge, pink pumpkins that bite, and, on one moonlit night that changes everything...a dragon.
