There's something different about the new headteacher. Priya Mehta is going to find out what. When Mr. Badger arrives at Sycamore Lane Primary School on a Monday in September, ten-year-old Priya notices three things immediately: he predicts the rain to the exact minute, his shoes are spotless on a muddy morning, and his nose moves in a way that isn't quite human. She opens her green notebook and begins THE INVESTIGATION—DAY ONE.

But when he discovers a shimmering, golden acorn nestled among the roots of an ancient oak, the ordinary world disappears.

Traditional worship told you to sit still, be quiet, and focus. Your brain didn’t get the memo. If church overstimulates you, if “quiet time” feels like torture, and if your prayers arrive in tangents, you are not broken—you’re neurodivergent. And your way of worship can be just as holy. Neurodivergent Spirituality: When Traditional Worship Doesn’t Work for Your Brain tears down the myth of the “perfect worshipper” and replaces it with a biblical, practical vision of faith that fits real bodies and real brains.

Jax hates stools. He hates counters that are chest-high. But mostly, he hates not getting paid.

When a slime-mold broker offers him a retirement-level payday to transport a "biological sample" to the edge of the Drift, Jax doesn’t ask questions. He just wants the credits.
