Radius and the Body Shield

When strange sparks begin appearing around students' invisible Body Shields, young detective Radius is determined to solve the mystery. At first, the clues seem unrelated: a surprise hug, repeated poking after someone says "stop," grabbing a friend's hand, and even moments involving privacy in public places. But as Radius investigates, he discovers that the Body Shields aren't malfunctioning at all-they're sending an important message.

Through engaging comic-book storytelling, relatable school situations, and a cast of memorable characters, Radius and the Body Shield helps children explore personal boundaries, consent, privacy, respect, and empathy. As Radius follows the clues, readers learn that respecting others means listening, asking first, honoring "no," and understanding that everyone deserves comfort, space, and dignity.

Perfect for classrooms, counselors, parents, and young readers, this thoughtful graphic novel encourages meaningful conversations about boundaries and healthy relationships while delivering an entertaining mystery adventure.

A story about respect, privacy, and learning one simple rule that can make all the difference: when you're not sure what someone needs-ask. Designed to help autistic, neurodivergent, and neurotypical young people navigate boundaries, social situations, and relationships with confidence, understanding, and respect.
