5.0
This is a short, but phenominal book! It's worth more stars than I can give.
Aven, our main character in this coming of age novel is forced to move from Kansas to Arizona when her dad gets a new job running a theme park. As aven has to get used to everything from a new climate to a new school we are with her all the way.
This could sound like another coming of age book with the usual content, but it isn't. Aven takes us through everything from making new freinds, to learning how to run a blog, discover the identity of your birth mother, realizing along the way what truly matters in life as she gets more and more settled in her new home...oh and all this she does without arm, but with her two best freinds Connor who ticks and barks, but is humorous and really smart. And Zion who is used to bieng the fat kid, and therefore seeks solitude, in reality he is just a really nice guy.
These three becomes the new generation of x-men, or at least the teenage middle school version as they conquer their fears, insecurities, and acomplishes their goals together....oh and not to forget spaghetti the fourth x-men member. He is a 20 something year old llama with a headtumor who becomes avens first freinds in Arizona
