Young adult, to be released 1 September 2020
Lou lives with her mom, in a truck at Lake Tahoe. Lou also has problems with touch and loud noises but she sings like a song bird. Mom has her sing to crowds (even though Lou doesn’t like them.) When an agent sees her perform, he wants to represent her.
The night before leaving for LA to see the agent, Lou is in an accident. The police get involved and the bring in CPS. Lou is then separated from her mom and has to go on an airplane (the noise and crowds!) to live with her aunt she hadn’t seen since she was little. It’s there that Lou’s life starts to get normal.
Opinion
I wish I could give this book more than five stars. I truly and absolutely loved it. There is no part of this book that was not good.
The best parts are: 1. How Lou grows throughout the book 2. The incredible friend she’s found in Well, who has his own set of issues 3. The way Lou learns to trust while living with Aunt Ginger and Uncle Dan.
This book helps children who have different abilities see that they, too, can be normal. It also helps “normal” kids see different ability kids as normal. This book needs to be read.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

A Devine Read 
I’m always up for reading books with ‘differently abled’ protagonists and your review makes me want to read this even more. Is the character in this book on the autism spectrum or does she just have a general sensory processing disorder? 🙂

In the beginning, they hinted that being on the spectrum was suspected. As you read on, she gets a different diagnosis.
It’s a great read for middle school kids (or even adults.)

Hi! Thank you for following my blog, I really appreciate it. But could you maybe follow Sarah’s Corner instead? The Cinematic Emporium is an old one and I haven’t posted on it in years. People tend to follow the old one and I’ve started encouraging them to follow the new one instead, because I still post on it semi-regularly. Thanks again! 🙂

Sure

I’ll admit, I probably could have used to have picked a less generic blog name…
