Aven was born without arms. Her adoptive parents, however, do not pity her and challenge her to be independent. When she and her parents move from Kansas to Arizona so her father can manage a theme park, Aven faces new challenges as she interacts with a new community. She befriends a boy with Tourette Syndrome who allows his disability to limit his life experiences.
Aven uncovers a shed with mysterious contents and begins to unravel a mystery that may give her a better understanding of herself.
I like how this book allows readers to "hear" how individuals with disabilities are affected by people and their reactions.
Pair with book
Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
*Highly recommend.
