Book 1: Lily and the Mysterious Doctor Visit

Plot Summary:

Lily, a curious and adventurous girl, has been feeling tired and foggy-headed lately. Her parents take her to Dr. Quickfix, who diagnoses her with a condition that doesn’t seem to fit. Lily and her best friend, Max, embark on an adventure to find the truth. With the help of their school librarian, Mrs. Sage, they uncover the importance of researching symptoms and getting second opinions.

Max has trouble concentrating in school and is misdiagnosed with a behavioral disorder. His parents are told he needs medication, but they feel uneasy about the diagnosis. With Lily’s help, Max discovers hidden clues about his own body—like how sugary snacks before school make him jittery and how skipping breakfast leaves him distracted. Together, they find a doctor who tests for nutritional imbalances, and Max learns how to manage his energy levels with proper food and habits.

By the end of the story, Emma sees her sensitivity as a superpower that helps her notice details others might miss.
