Meet Lucian Blake: The Boy Who Sees What Others Miss
Lucian Blake doesn’t look for trouble—he just sees the truth beneath it. In a world where everyone wears masks and pretends things are fine, Lucian notices what’s hidden: the bruises no one talks about, the strange silences between words, and the subtle signs of something much deeper going wrong. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD, Lucian thinks differently—and that difference might be exactly what one of his classmates needs to escape a dangerous secret. Lucian Blake: Genius at a Cost is a heart-wrenching, hopeful middle-grade novel about the courage it takes to care, and what it means to truly help someone when no one else can.
Told through journal entries and Lucian’s unfiltered inner thoughts, the story invites readers into a mind that cuts through noise and distraction to uncover what others are too afraid—or too distracted—to see. As Lucian connects the dots around a classmate’s troubled home life, he must also navigate family tension, social misunderstandings, and a world that often misjudges those who think differently. But beneath all of that lies something simple and powerful: Lucian wants to do what’s right, no matter the cost.
For fans of Wonder, Fish in a Tree, and A Kind of Spark, this novel is a gripping exploration of neurodivergence, friendship, and moral clarity. Lucian Blake: Genius at a Cost is not just a story—it’s a quiet revolution for kids who are tired of pretending they don’t notice what matters most.
