Growing Up

In this teenage chapter, Rushwhirl returns as a more sophisticated rival. The familiar trick now creates difficult choices in research, group projects, and everyday decisions. Recognizing the tactic matters more than labeling a person; the character can still learn and change.

Meet Rushwhirl
