A wonderful (own-voices as the author is autistic) children's book that centres around the marginalised character - Addie who is an autistic young girl with a sharp, clear, and empathetic voice. She becomes very interested in the witch trials and wants her Scottish town to dedicate a plaque to the women who were murdered. The writing style was simple, yet full of emotion - and so very accessible.
