Publisher's Synopsis
A new school year can be overwhelming for children as it is, but the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a new adventure for students of all ages. Meet Charlie, a 7-year-old biracial student who is going to start her first day of school wearing a mask. Charlie and her twin brother Tye believe that they are superheroes, and they must fight the bad guys (the germs that are out there to harm) by wearing a mask. When they arrive to school they are a little nervous, but their teacher has a surprise for the class that will make wearing a mask a fun adventure.
This book is for students returning to schools that will require them to wear masks, and for teachers, parents, and loved ones searching for a heartwarming, fun story that will provide peace. Charlie and the Great Maskarade is a confidence-building, back-to-school read that will help ease the apprehension of children adapting to a school year in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
