First read this book as a young kid when it first came out, and reading it all these years later it still was an enjoyable read. Characters you fall in love with and a story that makes you appreciate the people around you and life in general. Who would have guessed that a children’s book would be the right thing I needed to get me out of my current bout of depression? In regards to children’s literature I’d say it’s one of the best I’ve read. Highly recommend.

This is one of the cutest things I have ever read. 12 year old Willow Chance is what people call a "highly gifted" child. Her concern is if people are "lowly gifted" or "medium gifted" or just "gifted". In her opinion, all labels are curses unless they are on cleaning products. She also hates "small talk" and prefers "large talk".The book follows Willow's journey as she meets people who are as different as can be. I will never get tired of a found family trope, so this book is absolutely perfect. This has the same energy as the movie Little Miss Sunshine (2006). Willow is an adorable protagonist and her story is and should be read and talked about.
