The Martian Child by David Gerrold
A single, science-fiction–loving man adopts a troubled, imaginative boy who insists he’s from Mars; as the pair navigate social services, outsiders’ judgments, and their own fears, the man learns to meet the child’s eccentricities with patience and creativity, and together they build an unconventional but loving family—an intimate, gently humorous exploration of parenthood, belonging, and the healing power of empathy and imagination.
