Having interviewed Elle McNicoll for World Book Day, my respect and adoration for her and the message behind her work grew to the highest of heights. And in this new book, McNicoll's second lockdown release, she knocks it out of the park AGAIN! The celebration of love, friendship and acceptance is so important in our world today and in our protagonist Cora, we have another strong neurodiverse female lead who stands up to those who try to change her.

I really wanted to love this book as much as I did A Kind of Spark, but sci-fi just really isn't for me. I loved that characters and the amazing autistic representation in this book, but the plot just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm still incredibly grateful that Elle McNicoll is writing these books for children and will definitely read more of her books
