Reading middle-grade books, particularly realistic fiction, is like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket; a good one will leave me feeling nourished and whole. A KIND OF SPARK, Elle McNicoll's debut, hits this very mark -- I'm glad to have this #OwnVoices narrative (McNicoll is autistic, as is the main character, Addie) gracing my shelves.

(Love and thanks to Ottie for the recommendation!)
