This was a book unlike any other. This sweet middle-grade book follows a girl with no arms and her friends. But I love that she wasn’t just armless. She was funny, friendly, kind, a soccer star, a blogger, a detective, a prankster, a helper, and much more. What a lovely story with lovely, three-dimensional characters and a great message of friendship and finding your people.
