This was such a sweet, uplifting story. It was lovely to read a book about an autistic main character written by an autistic author. Addie was such a wonderful MC; she's thoughtful and kind and I loved her passion for sharks and her campaign to get the monument built. The ending was just so soft and adorable too.
Moderate: Ableism
