I've been reading a lot of middle grade lately, and Jenn Reese nailed the voice in this. Eren (a seventh grader) is struggling because all her friends seem to want to start dating, but she doesn't. She doesn't know if she'll ever want to date. Can I just say how appreciative I am for middle grade books that talk about asexuality? Because there are kids that feel this way, and they're not necessarily just going to "grow out of it." The be all, end all everyone must end up in a romantic relationship isn't realistic for everybody.

Outside of the outstanding rep that this book gives, the core story and adventure is fantastic for a middle grade audience. I mean, what kid didn't want the magical ability to talk to animals? Plus, we get to see Eren's changing friendships, and we get to see her overcome her own doubts about her courage and bravery. There's just so much to love here, even though it is a fairly quick read.

All in all, I absolutely devoured this and I'm so glad that it exists!
