Kevin Figures It Out

By Kayla Kay Will

Kevin Figures It Out is an emotionally honest middle grade story about overwhelm, big feelings, sensory chaos, family noise, awkward moments, safe adults, and learning that different does not mean broken.

Kevin notices everything.

The buzzing lights in the hallway.
The way wet hoodies smell on the bus.
The emotionally unsafe toothbrush.
The fact that worms are clearly running some kind of scam.

While other kids seem to move through life effortlessly, Kevin often feels like he's trying to keep up with a world that's moving too fast and talking too loud. But with the help of supportive adults, toolbox moments, humor, and the people who truly see him, Kevin slowly begins learning how to navigate school, friendships, overwhelm, and the complicated reality of growing up neurodivergent.

Told with warmth, humor, and emotional realism, Kevin Figures It Out blends heartfelt storytelling with practical coping strategies and sensory-friendly themes in a way that helps readers feel seen, understood, and less alone.

Perfect for readers who love: Emotionally honest middle grade storiesNeurodivergent representationGentle humor and realistic family dynamicsToolbox coping skills and emotional regulation themesCharacter-driven stories with heartBecause sometimes figuring it out doesn't mean becoming someone different.

Sometimes it just means learning you were never broken to begin with.
