much she has to offer the world." -School Library Journal, Starred
Review
"The author, herself neurodivergent, imbues Addie’s
unapologetically autistic perspective with compassion and insight."
-Kirkus Reviews
Whether they’re facing similar neurodivergent challenges or not,
readers will appreciate Addie’s honesty, and they may follow her
lead in reconsidering history.” –The Bulletin
"The writer (autistic herself) busts some myths about
neuro-divergency as she presents a flawed, loving, believable
family and a convincing, nuanced, and very likable main character
with a distinctive voice.” –The Horn Book
