I really enjoyed this book. It is an own voices story about a Jewish autistic girl named Ellen. The cast of characters is diverse, including a boy with adhd, a (part?) latinx nonbinary character, and Castilian characters. It showcases how autism impacts Ellen's relationship with the world around her without infantilizing her, which is quite refreshing. It's a nice little coming of age story.
