This is such an important book and I’m so glad it exists. It was infuriating to read how Addie was treated by some of the ignorant and abusive adults in this book and it’s especially infuriating knowing that that’s a very real experience for lots of kids in the real world. I think this book could be really helpful for kids who might be going through something similar. Or for allistic kids to learn more about what having autism can be like.
Bonus quote: ‘Mr Laird rises in her place, eyes slightly wild and mustache aquiver. “The geese on Juniper pond,” he booms, “are demonic.” There are some groans, but a couple of ayes.
Idk why but that made me laugh a lot 😆 I wanna know how these geese got this reputation.

Talk about the witch trials (torture, murder, hanging, etc. Not graphically described) Theres also a few ableist slurs used (specifically anti-autistic)wends_nblw's review against another edition
