Glitch in the System: A Cyberpunk Neurodiversity Adventure (BOOK Children’s/ YA)
What if ADHD wasn’t a deficit — but an elite neural upgrade? In the neon-lit city of Neo-Veridia, teenager Jax doesn’t struggle with a “too-fast” brain; he uses it to crack security systems that leave everyone else stumped. Glitch in the System is a cyberpunk eBook by NBCT Maria Angala that reframes neurodivergence as a superpower, following Jax as he detects invisible patterns, enters hyperfocus on demand, and outsmarts a mega-corp where neurotypical thinking fails. It’s a thrilling read — and a powerful mirror for students who’ve been told their brain is the problem. Built for the 420L–820L Lexile range and scaffolded for IEPs, this TpT resource includes an eBook, interactive Easel Activities, and PLUSS-aligned differentiation targeting CCSS standards RL.6.1 and RL.6.3. Perfect for SPED, ELL, and inclusive classrooms ready to tell students: you’re not a glitch — you’re the system upgrade.
