Nuro: 3 Kids & 1 Alien (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781919410890)

NURO: 3 Kids & 1 Alien

Four minds. One way forward.

For young readers AND adults who heard "just focus" a lot growing up.

IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE EVERY THOUGHT MUST BE A STRAIGHT LINE.

Meet Nuro.
On his home planet, everyone thinks in straight lines.
A to B to C.

But Nuro's thoughts go everywhere at once-connecting things nobody else sees, jumping before he finishes, noticing patterns that don't seem to exist. They call it "tangled." They want to fix it. So Nuro does the only thing that makes sense: he steals a shuttle and crash-lands in someone's tomato garden.

On the planet Lineara, Nuro faces the "Straightening Program"-a procedure that erases the tangled connections in his mind. People come out quieter. They smile, but not at the same things. Some forget they ever loved music.

So Nuro runs. He finds Earth-listed in old records as "chaotic but functional"-and crash-lands in the backyard of three kids on Maple Street.

One sees the big picture. One makes the plans. One catches the details. And Nuro? He connects it all.

Four minds. One way forward.

WHAT READERS WILL FIND

→ An adventure about what happens when different kinds of minds collide
→ Characters who struggle, mess up, and figure things out together
→ A story that explores neurodiversity without ever using the word
→ No lectures about being "special"-just honest storytelling about being different

What if the things that make you "difficult" could also make you brilliant?

FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS

This isn't a book that tells kids their brain is a superpower. It's a book that shows them it's okay to think differently-and that maybe, just maybe, different brains working together can do things no single brain can do alone.

What it will do is show them a character whose brain works like theirs-and who finds friends who learn to work with that brain instead of against it.

Sometimes, that's more valuable than any intervention: knowing you're not alone, and that your way of thinking has a place in the world.

FROM THE BOOK

"On Lineara, tangled thoughts were considered a malfunction. Dangerous, even. Something to be corrected before it spread. But watching his thought-patch light up in the evening air, Nuro wondered: what if tangled wasn't wrong? What if it was just... different?"

3 Kids & 1 Alien is the first book in the NURO series-middle-grade adventures exploring how different kinds of minds can work together. No superpowers. No magic cures. Just honest stories about thinking differently-and finding your people.

THE AUTHORS

Yana and Yavor spent decades managing brains they didn't understand. Both late-diagnosed ADHDers at 39, they finally had words for why their thoughts jumped, why finishing was hard, why "just focus" never worked.

They wished they had known someone like Nuro when they were kids. Not a clinical explanation. Not a diagnosis. Just a story about someone whose brain worked like theirs.

So they wrote NURO.

This is the book they needed at age 10.
The one that says: You don't have to think in straight lines to find your way forward.
