I really enjoyed this book, and once I finally got more into it, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the little treasure hunt, and I didn’t even put more of the pieces together until near the very end. As a middle grade book, I didn’t find it to be too immature at the same time, with the characters and storyline very enjoyable. I’m looking forward to recommending this book to students, and honestly even some peers.

I love this as a good lighthearted and hopeful middle grade book about an autistic girl. I listened to it as an audiobook quickly and would love to recommend it to my students or others who could relate. Even though I am well above the age for this book, I still found it a comforting read, easy and lighthearted that made me cry a couple times in relation.
